It’s not often in life you have meaningful friendships that influence your lives. My partner, Janina, and I were lucky enough to have one such with Patrick Edgeworth and his wonderful wife, Susie. Patrick had a wonderfully pragmatic way of dealing with life’s ups and downs. His most memorable qualities were centred around a calm dignity, empathy, and impeccable physical presentation – much like Peter Bowles (star of the UK comedy series To The Manor Born) to whom he was often compared.
One of Australia’s finest writers and one of the Guild’s most loyal and influential members, Mac Gudgeon, sadly passed away last week after a long illness.
