May Mundt a Biography

May did visit Joan on occasions away from the family home in order to avoid James. She saw her daughter mainly during her lunch breaks at Maleny High School. Joan eventually married in 1964 and had her first child in 1965. In 1966 they moved to Longreach where her husband worked as a technician on the radio station at Cramsie, broadcasting the ABC radio program and it wasn’t until 1971 that they returned to Brisbane as one of their children needed open heart surgery and their eldest son was to start school. In those days Joan and May communicated by writing letters and finally the connections were made when May came to Longreach for the birth of two of Joan’s sons.
