Re: Tribute to Susan Alberti

I drove past the club the other day and I saw that! I thought - ooh that's nice - I wondered why I hadn't heard about it. How lovely.

A fitting acknowledgement and tribute to a great and tireless benefactor of our wonderful club, whose passion and drive deserves recognition - a big thank you from me too!

And from me too.

Re: Tribute to Susan Alberti

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Melbourne was having the honour of talking with Susan at the President's Club luncheon. I told my partner prior to the lunch that I hoped she'd be there, because after what I've read about her since the Sam Newman incident, she was the one person who I really wanted to meet. I watched the ABC Talking Heads program about her online and was so impressed and grateful that we have such a wonderful woman as a director of our club.

Her association with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in Australia added an extra dimension to my respect. My favorite former Chicago Cubs player, Ron Santo, has diabetes and is a major sponsor of the JDRF in the US. Ron has lost both legs to diabetes, but continues to be a commentator for Chicago Cubs games on Chicago's WGN radio. I had the honour of meeting him in 2005 and have an autographed photo of him on my bedroom wall next to my Bulldogs "shrine" above my computer.

I have to admit that I was too shy to go over to Susan when I saw her at the luncheon. However, she came over to meet me after I mentioned WOOF while speaking to the patrons while speaking at the podium with David Smorgon. She knew me from this site and from my radio segment on 774ABC. That just absolutely astounded me. She has a friend for life! I will never forget those minutes we spoke at the luncheon.

So to read that Susan has received another much deserved honour pleases me to the hilt. Congrats, Susie! If you ever get to Chicago, let me know!

Re: Tribute to Susan Alberti

Susan herself was absolutely delighted to meet you also. Having you in the room was fantastic. Yes she had heard you on the radio many times, but to actually have you speaking in the President's room was wonderful. Juvenile Diabetes is a terrible disease and it is so good to know that you are working with someone who has been affected by its complications.
Susan was in the US recently attending an international conference in Washington DC. She would have tried to meet you if she had some more details. Keep up the great work in the US.

I'm actually a little disappointed there was not a few extra letters included with Susan's name. Was waiting to see Susan named in the Queen's Birthday Awards just passed. Long overdue for a gong by my reckoning and I'm a staunch Republican!

DaDruid it's OK for Australian Republicans to support the Australian awards that recognise contributions to our nation and society. and Susan already has an AO.

Were you expecting more?

Re: Tribute to Susan Alberti

Let me say it was one of the proudest moments of her life. As she stated we at the WB "not only talk the talk, but walk the walk"! We have a passion for our community. We are more than football we are a wonderful community.
Susan really appreciates all your kind thoughts.

Congratulations on your achievements. I will shake your hand one day , hopefully on the last Saturday in September

Re: Tribute to Susan Alberti

Susan received an AM in 1997 and an AO in 2007. She cannot wait to shake the hands of all the Woofers. You are a great bunch of people. Now lets keep supporting our mighty Bulldogs.

Yes. You could put the entire alphabet there in all possible combinations and it still would seem inadequate to me.
