Yesterday my brother Simon ceremonially cut the
ribbon at the official opening of the majestic new Pearson’s Crossing steel suspension
bridge across the Thomson River that connects Sale to Wurruk, not too far from
Kilmany Park in East Gippsland. This is fitting, because as far as I can tell Simon
is the only one of us who currently bears the name of Pearson, viz. Simon Tom
Pearson Trumble. I must confess I am envious not to have been able to join the seven
other descendants of our pioneering ancestor William Pearson who were also present,
together with distinguished representatives of VicRoads (who built it), and
members of the council of the City of Sale. Alas, it was just not possible, but somehow
I feel I ought to have made a better effort.

Looks liked you missed some fun. I'm sure Simon forgives you.
