George Way was a lovely man. We lived next door to him, sadly he has passed away. great loss - such a gentle happy person.
He used to show us his movies of Disneyland - entrancing to the entire neighbourhood. And the STAR WARS pre-movie he managed to steal - circa 1977 - WOW. Thank you Mr Way.

I posted this link on Old Brisbane Album on facebook. Everyone loved it and was very appreciative - lots of people "tracked" the route. Still a lot of TRAM fans in Brisbane to this day. Thank you for posting. I will send Mrs Way a letter - I am sure the family will be pleased that Mr Way is FAMOUS for his trams.
