  4. Condolences to the Reid family. I worked at the Shire of Rochester after graduating from 1969 to 1973. Under Bill Reid’s leadership I received a sound and practical grounding in all aspects of Municipal Engineering. Mr Reid had established a well run department based on sound engineering practices. An interesting place to work in and I look back at those years with great fondness and many happy memories.

  5. Sincere sympathy to Mr. Reid's Family. Many memories from when Bill was my first boss, at the age of 16, when I worked for the Shire of Rochester from 1964 till 1972, when I left to get married and move to Maryborough Victoria. I was Shirley Taylor.
