“IN DEDICATION” – By Des Kelly
“This is a very special dedication to my dad, Carlo Kelly, who left Ceylon like so many others to come to Australia to battle on, despite the fact that he was 52 and found it very difficult to find what was then termed a “blue-collar” or office job, even though he had been a bank-clerk at the Mercantile Bank in Colombo for many years, expert in banking services with ‘writing’ straight out of a text-book. He still continued to work in Melbourne & took on any laborious task offered,
because, like me, later on, he hated the word ‘dole’.
Also, like me, my dad, who sadly passed away at 79, loved Country Music & Don Williams was one of his favourites. I would have loved it if he could have watched this with me, but I feel certain that he knows that I have never forgotten him, and never will, so Dad, this one is very especially for you to enjoy in Heaven. Here are two of your favourites, brought to you, from your eldest Son. God bless you Dad”.
