Andrew Mackinnon A poem by each of the students at Highton, 1992

THE STAR BEAST He came to teach us about the Universe, He was found by a farmer and he was silent at first, And soon he learned the language, and the dialogue, But one day he got fed up with the foolish human ways, So he left us, to return another day. BY MILES BURT (YEAR 7, 1992)

Miles was the first friend I made when I arrived at Timbertop on year 9 at GGS. Miles was loyal friend for 25 years, a great rower and brilliant lawyer. Through out the challenges the life through at Miles, he never complained and always had a smile on his face to the very end. ad astra per aspera

Miles, Very sorry I can’t make it tomorrow. You used to come and wake me up and make me run with you a couple of times a week. Got me into running which has been a bit of a god send for me. I lost contact with you after school, but this has been a huge ongoing positive for me. Rest In Peace mate. You will not be forgotten

As we said our formal goodbye, even the heavens wept. We are sad that you have left us, yet our lives have been immeasurably enriched for you being part of them. Rest well dear and faithful friend in your richly deserved and long-delayed peace.

Miles, I’m sorry life was so unfair to you, I know how much you struggled. But I’m so happy that your mates rallied around you and made the last few months some of the best times of your life. Rest In Peace. Linda.
