Templestowe Tennis Pavilion Group

A visitor, Mrs Pam Ryan set Ron Rundle of "Black and White Printing" a difficult task recently. Ron, who is the photographer we use to reproduce photos from our negative collection was asked to enlarge the shadowy photo of the man in the centre of the above photo. Mrs Ryan is doing a family history and the man was the headmaster of the Templestowe State School. The resulting photo was nothing short of amazing. It came up very clearly and Mrs Ryan was thrilled with the result.
