2 P a g e 2 On Tuesday 5th February, we enjoyed another Behind the Badge presentation of one of our long standing members. Cyril Dann gave us a wonderful in site into his life and how he was introduced to Rotary, as well as his "life path" to becoming a Priest. Cyril was born in Launceston, youngest of 5.

Later Cyril was promoted to Official Receiver where he remained until he retired due to ill health in Cyril joined Rotary August In 1982 he had heart surgery in Adelaide which culminated in 5 by passes. He has subsequently had a stent put in plus a pacemaker in He married Nessie in 1961 and they have four children. After the sad passing of his wife Nessie, Cyril lived in Howrah until He met and married Mae and now lives in Risdon Vale. Cyril was involved with St John cadets from 1975 then with St John council until 2012, which he was the Chaplain of the association for years. He was made Officer of the Order of St John.
