On the 28th of September, 2013, Henry/Dad/Grandad turned 90!
Dianne & Greg hosted a surprise party at their home at Cooroibah.
There were many old friends, new friends and family.
Isaac played tennis with the other kids for three hours, even when it rained.
We enjoyed slideshows by both Zoe and Dianne. And video footage of the races from back in the 1960s.
His cake was like the cover of his book, "No Guts, No Glory".
