Ted was a member of the Alice Springs Progress Association, the Alice Springs Higher Primary School Committee, the Darwin Higher Primary School Committee and the Masonic Lodge. Corrinne was also involved in the community and was an active member of the Country Women's Association from 1939 to 1957. |
