Kevin Whalan, past editor of the Canowindra Star, told his story to The Phoenix a few weeks ago. Kevin is releasing his memoirs later this year and has shared a couple of cracking photos of a life well lived.
Kevin Whalan with friends from Canowindra at the big smoke (Sydney). The group enjoyed an evening out at Sydney’s premier swinging nightclub Chequers in the 1940s.
Kevin Whalan met Diana, Princess of Wales in the 1980s with his daughter Susan. Susan accidentally stood on Prince Charles’ foot as she scurried away to make way for the photographer. Diana laughed and the incident is still remembered by the family decades on.
