An outstanding man
Not mentioned in the Significant Men of the Central Coast book is the legendary Dave Abbott.
Dave was long-time president of the South Woy Woy Progress Association and figured large on many Peninsula community organisations and committees.
He lobbied all politicians severely and used the media effectively.
Senior journalist Joan Campbell had a high regard for Dave and his work for the Peninsula.
He worked hard for better facilities, roads and drainage, Woy Woy Hospital, aged care and paramedic services.
He is an outstanding man who felt assisting the community was his duty.
