Hannah is buried in the cemetery there. It was quite an interesting affair and I got to meet many people who I had previously only encountered online, while doing the family tree. I took lots of photos. A flash was not allowed as it mucks up the light sensors on the video equipment. Also I signed a non-disclosure agreement and promised not to tell people or publish my photos until after the show had aired. I have now put the photos on <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/tags\/whodoyouthinkyouare\/\">flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/2259405793\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3467\" title=\"SuttonForrest2\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/SuttonForrest2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Finally a plug for the people at SBS. I was very impressed by their organisation skills and professionalism for the small part of the shows production that I was involved with. I was a bit concerned when I saw the TV shows that were produced in England with their general approach to the topics, but I think that the Australian version is a significant improvement on the originals and look forward to seeing the rest of the shows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/2259405097\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3468\" title=\"SuttonForrest3\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/SuttonForrest3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"167\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/2259405039\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3469\" title=\"SuttonForrest4\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/SuttonForrest4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"167\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-1004974306099190\";\n\/* 728x90, created 09\/05\/09 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"9049618721\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 728;\ngoogle_ad_height = 90;\n\/\/--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night on SBS was a TV show about AFL announcer Dennis Cometti.
