CORRECTION
In Monday’s ‘Around Cootamundra’ column I made mention of the sad passing of former Cootamundra man Leo Kruit.
Leo was a long time Station Officer (not an ambulance officer as stated), and he was actually predeceased by his wife Pat.
My sincere apologies to the family for any discomfort that may have been caused by the publication of incorrect
information.
