An historical note – the Erickson family
We’ve recently been contacted by former Club member Donald Erickson, who is now 91 and living in Canberra.
The Erickson family have a long connection with the Club, dating back to our very early years.
Don’s Grandfather, a Norwegian migrant, raised five sons and three daughters in Drummoyne. Four of the boys were Club members. Don’s uncle Albert Erickson was Club Captain circa 1915 and his father Bertie Erickson was Club Captain in 1918.
Don joined DASC in 1940 and won his first trophy in 1941 – in the 33 yard handicap.
Don went on to win the George Wheaton BBB Memorial Trophy in 1944-45 and his name is still on it!
