Matt White's father and grandfather at 1965 AGM

[Rosy]

Thanks to Matty's dad Peter for sending this 1965 AGM photo to publish with the Matt White article

Tommy Hafey had just been introduced at the AGM as the new Richmond coach.  Matty's dad Peter is sitting on Tommy's knee and his (Matt's) grandfather Joe is beside him.

What a great photo.  Tommy went on to be a super-coach extraordinaire and young Peter grew up and had a son who was drafted by his beloved Tigers.

It would be awesome if anyone recognised themselves or any rellies or friends in the photo.

That will is a startling photograph capturing the accessibilty Tom had as a coach.

You just don't see photos like that anymore, and consider that at the AGM's back then , whole families would attend as it was most likely held in the Richmond Town Hall.

I know the Richmomd Museum would love to have a copy of the photo for its archives- Rosy, is there a certani way I can contact a family member to enquiry.

The photo is signed by Tommy too. I'll pass your request on Rhett.
