LETTER TO THE EDITOR


Congratulations to John and Jennefer Houghton and the late Graham Colson — three deeply respected members of the Wangaratta community — who have been recognised in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours.


John and Jennefer have made a remarkable impact through their tireless community work, and it’s heartening to see their efforts formally acknowledged.


It is also a fitting tribute to the late Graham Colson, whose legacy of community service continues to inspire. Graham gave so much of himself to Wangaratta, and this honour serves as a lasting reminder of his quiet dedication.


To each of them, and to their families, thank you, and congratulations.
