Though I go under the handle banistersmind for the purposes of this site, I can confirm that I am in fact Dean Mayes, the subject of this file.

There are so many things that I recollect about the first four years of my life in Yallourn (from 1973 through to 1977) but they are all a jumble right now and so I'll need to sift through them in due course. Perhaps the one prominent memory I have from those days however was my first experience of seeing Star Wars on the big screen at none other than the Yallourn Cinema. Instead of recounting it here, I wrote an article about it for my website a couple of years ago. At the time, it attracted the attention of a bona fide Star Wars actor in Richard LeParmentier - who played an Imperial Officer in the film who is nearly throttled by Darth Vader. Sadly LeParmentier died just last week (April 16th 2013), but his comment on my post, I shall treasure for all time.

Anyway, the post is here at the following link:
