I recognise the marriage of Danny and Patricia Ryan, two constituents of mine who recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Well known in our community, Danny and Patricia have made an immense contribution locally. Patricia worked at the Collingwood Hotel for over 20 years, and Danny at Mounties in Mount Pritchard, where they remain life members. Having moved to Cartwright from Paddington in 1968, Danny and Patricia established themselves in their current house and raised their family, starting with their two daughters, Deborah and Donna, followed by their grandchildren, Shaun, Mitchell, Shae and Jayden, and great grandchildren, Ruby and Jude. While every married couple faces obstacles, their granddaughter Shae advises that clear communication and lots of laughter are the keys to a long-lasting marriage, as well as a close relationship with family and coastal getaways. I sincerely congratulate Danny and Patricia on their sixtieth anniversary. I hope to celebrate their relationship for years to come.
