In fact, an annual dinner at the beginning of the year saw around 70 students gather in the backyard at Vasey Crescent.</p><p data-block-key="fkkrf">“Howard used to see a lot of new students who were living away from home for the first time and it was just something we could do to help them feel less homesick,” Ruth recalls.</p><img alt="118-vasey-crescent-campbell-act-2612-58644-image-0-20220607043130869692-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/118-vasey-crescent-campbell-act-2612-58644-ima.width-800_B61HRpK.jpg" width="800"><p data-block-key="85euk">In 1976, major renovations were undertaken to the four-bedroom home, including the addition of two new bedrooms and a bathroom, and doubling the size of the kitchen to include a walk-in pantry.</p><p data-block-key="absj7">When she looks back on 61 years in Vasey Crescent, Ruth, now a grandmother of nine and great-grandmother of 29, describes a sense of amazement.</p><img alt="118-vasey-crescent-campbell-act-2612-58644-image-0-20220607043135990469-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/118-vasey-crescent-campbell-act-2612-58644-ima.width-800_QqFhtvr.jpg" width="800"><p data-block-key="685kp">“We&#x27;ve always loved living here, we were away quite a bit overseas with Howard’s work but we’ve always loved coming home to Canberra,” she says.
