Vadim Dale (P’92) was the subject of a long article by Nick O’Malley in Good Weekend (23 March 2013), largely about his work in the United States with the Louisville Metro Police’s Second Division. A Marine Corps veteran is quoted as saying that “what stands out about Dale …. is not just how aggressive he is about the work, but how much he likes the people he deals with on the street. They like him, too. His [Australian] accent is known to have diffused tense situations.” His meeting, as “Outback Jack”, of his American wife, Natalie, on a Reality-TV show is legendary. They have three daughters, Hunter, Eden, and Chloe. Alex Marchetti (P’94), who is a sommelier, and was manager of Casa Ciuccio in Fitzroy, in 2012 became restaurant manager at Pure South in Southgate. Gordon Little (FB’99) has a company in New York that imports Australian wines into the United States. Called Little Peacock (a hybrid of his surname and that of his fiancée, Lauren Peacock), it works with six Australian wineries ranging from Margaret River through the Barossa and Yarra Valleys to the Mornington Peninsula, and has its own website (www. little-peacock.com). Late in February, it and Australian wines in general were commended in The New York Times. Elizabeth Parkinson (Fr’05) graduated Master of Social Work from Deakin University on 19 April 2013. She is working for Bethany in Geelong. Lucy McKendrick (He’09) won the Young Australian Film-Maker of the Year award at the Byron Bay Film Festival in March 2013 for her short film Toombaworth, which was also nominated for Best Cinematography among the hundreds of films shown during the ten-day festival.
