[GSBN] Colin Newton

[Chris Newton]

FW: Tadic NenadHi Laura

That is an incredibly kind gesture, Colin would have wondered all the fuss was about. We have just finalised plans for his Wake tomorrow. Let the bale heads know that his coffin is made from recycle corrugated iron roofing, and it will be sitting on 2 straw bales.

Love to all 
Chris Newton

Dear Chris, 

Please know that we will be creating time to honor him and his gifts to this community Thursday evening here at the conference along with the celebration of Judy Knox. Peter shared that he brought a photo collection that he will show to the entire group gathered here. 

You and he are in our thoughts here, and I'm sorry to have never had the pleasure of meeting him before his passing. 

Many, many blessings to you at this time,
Laura

    Hi Joyce
    My Husband died from Cancer 16/9/12
    Colin was a structural engineer and his work was primarily straw bale and other alternative building materials in Queensland Australia.
    Col really wanted to make the conference this year
    Peter Torak (Canadian/Australian straw baler) is at the ISBBC this week for us. 
    I have asked him to look you up. He has some photos of his work.
    He is also doing a 5 in 5 on the Emerald tourist centre that Colin Engineered and repaired after the flood.
    Have a great Conference bale heads
    Love Chris Newton
