Yesterday we farewelled Dr Ken Sieben, who has been a huge part of our community since coming here in 1989. It was clear from the feelings expressed at the event, that he was a much loved doctor and member of our community, and his calming presence will be sorely missed. Naturally because of COVID restrictions, the event was a lot more low key than we might have liked, but somehow I think Ken preferred this. Many thanks to Aylene Mueller who was the organiser - it can’t have been easy - and to all those who came, what amazing memories (none of which can really be shared because off the unique place that health professionals hold in our community). Good luck to Ken and Julie on the next part of their journey - and hopefully we’ll still see them around a lot. Thank you.
