Shirley Reid

It is generally accepted that large families are happy families and siblings support and look after each other. After talking with Shirley, I am sure this saying is indeed correct. Shirley Ann Storer, (now Reid), was born on January 9, 1942, at the old Mildura Base Hospital to Joseph and Lorna (née McKenzie) Storer. She was one of ten siblings and a member of a large, happy family. Shirley had five brothers and four sisters, so she had plenty of playmates and companions with whom to play games and discover her neighbourhood. Keep in mind Shirley grew up well before television and mobile phones were common when fun and adventure had to be created or invented.
