Attending the small county schools of "Valarka" and "Teramia", John and Betty’s paths did not cross again until Betty returned from Melbourne nursing and working as a Mother Craft nurse at the Corowa hospital in 1963.
John was admitted after a chainsaw injury which resulted in surgery and significant rehabilitation time in hospital, where love blossomed.
John and Betty were joined by their wedding party of Frederick Knight, Kevin Cooper, Mary Hargreaves and Margaret Oswald.
After a first date at the Yarrawonga drive in movie theatre, they were married at the age of 25 on October 17, 1964 at St Bridget's Church Mulwala attended by the wedding party of Frederick Knight, Kevin Cooper, Mary Hargreaves and Margaret Oswald.
