THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS – CAN YOU ASSIST?
As part of our ongoing commitment to preserving Australia’s square dance heritage, we are seeking archival photographs, biographical details, and historical records that document Bernie’s involvement and impact. These materials will support the national archive and ensure that Bernie’s legacy continues to inspire future generations.
If you have access to relevant documents, images, newsletters, or personal recollections from Bernie’s tenure, we warmly invite you to share them with our archival team. Contributions may be submitted to the Squares Around Australia historical archive or coordinated through the National Square Dance Society of Australia Inc.
Thank you for helping us honour those who have shaped our community.
