Dorothy De Low with her son Peter.
The Governor General of Australia honoured Dorothy with the Medal of the Order of Australia. This the most presegious honour in the Land. Dorothy's achievement in Table Tennis has been recognised by the State at last.

What about recognising Dorothy's achievement by Her Majesty The Queen? After all, The Queen is the Head of the State. The Governor General could be the right authority to instigate for recognition of Dorothy's achievement in life.

Dear Dot De Low,
We are pleased to confirm that you have set the new Guinness World Record for "Oldest table tennis player" and a certificate to commemorate has been sent to you by post today.
