Danny Gardiner reminded the gathering of recently deceased John ‘Cummo’ Cummins’ comtribution.
Our committee was formed in 1990 to organise a memorial day for the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the West Gate Bridge. The Committee consisted of John Cummins, Tom Watson, Pat Preston, Jimmy O’Neil and myself.
The Committee continued to operate not only to organise memorial days but also to so something long term to commemorate the men who gave their lives in the construction of the bridge.
The work that was done to get to today is a credit to Cummo, Tommy and the rest of the Committee.
