Chris Lawton, Hon. Secretary of the STCOBA, celebrated his 90th birthday on 4th November, 2021. Chris has been a longstanding member of the OBA and has given yeoman service to the Association for over 25 years sharing his knowledge and wisdom and been a role model in guiding the Ex-Co over many years. A special celebration was held after the monthly Ex-Co meeting on 8th November 2021.

The Past Presidents and Ex-Co Members Group of the STCOBA hosted a lunch for Chris, at the Coconut Tree Restaurant, Wantirna on 11th December 2021 to celebrate the occasion, attended by over 25 members. Godfrey Senaratne and Selva Kanagasabai shared some memories of working with Chris in the OBA; and Chris in turn expressed his gratitude to all those who attended. The function ended with the singing of the College Song.

Congratulations Chris on this tremendous milestone and may you continue to be an inspiration to us all.
