Long Story Short

May 10, 2023, 1:00 PM – 2:45 PM

Film screening 'Long Story Short' with afternoon tea.

Marle Juster OAM was a Redcliffe personality who held the view that the only way to make a difference in your community is to be involved.

Marle coupled a long and successful career in the baking industry with commitment to community that included active involvement in various clubs and societies. Marle was also well known for his passionate love of local history and was a life member and patron of Redcliffe Historical Society Inc. now known as History Redcliffe.

Marle was noted for beginning his stories with the words " long story short ", before launching into a long , detailed description of his story. Quite active in his later years, Marle contributed to several Redcliffe City Library and Redcliffe Historical Society projects by recording his memories on various subjects which later provided material for a film about Marle.

As only a limited number of recordings were made , it was decided that a public screening of the film would fit perfectly with the Heritage Month 2023 theme Shared Stories.
