Last week the athletics community lost one of its much loved and longest serving volunteers, when Don Brodie passed away aged 96. Don’s enormous contribution to the sport, largely with Western Suburbs Athletics Club, was a seven-decade involvement in administration and coaching at the club that continued as recently as 2013 when he was President while in his 80s.
Don was also very involved in obedience with his German shepherd dogs, training three to Australian Obedience Champions AOC and helping many other people to train their own dogs.  And Don was a life time member of the GSDL.
