1 y separately published work icon Gentle John - My Love, My Loss Helene Chung , Melbourne : Hill of Content , 1995 Z1727203 1995 single work biography

'This is a story of love, death and grief. John Martin and Helene Chung met as students at the University of Tasmania in 1963. Thirteen years later, when he was a lecturer in history at the Gordon Institute of Technology in Geelong, and she an ABC television reporter in Hobart, she interviewed him on This Day Tonight — an interview that sparked a lifelong romance.

In 1991, when the couple were living in Melbourne, John underwent apparently successful surgery for colon cancer but, a year later, an inoperable tumour was found in his pelvis. In 1993 he was suddenly admitted to hospital again, with an obstructed bowel. Although John and Helene thought he would be home within days, surgery was needed and he proved too weak to recover. John died peacefully and painlessly, Helene by his side...' Source: http://www.helenechung.com/ (Sighted 22/09/10)

Conservation is our way of looking after our world. We can learn about conservation by looking back into the past, by looking around us at our world of today, and by thinking about the future. Conservation helps us find a path through life's complicated choices, to lead us to see what is really important and worth preserving and best for our world. 'Conservation' is a thoughtful way of explaining to children how to make our world sound, safe and sensible. (Source: back cover)
