Writers mourn

The Woy Woy Writers mourn the passing on Monday, June 27, of their treasured member, Phyllis Lindsay, who had been a member of the group since it was formed in February 1990 and, until recently, had seldom missed a weekly meeting.

Phyllis was the wordsmith of the group, always knew the right word to use and the correct spelling, and was quick to point out when anyone used the wrong word.

Phyllis was appointed a Life Member of the group and had contributed to their five books of short stories and poems.

In their latest book, Around a Square Table, Phyllis, born in Harris St, Pyrmont in 1911, the eldest of 11 children, told us what it was like growing up in the early days of Sydney.
