Lula Saunders

Lula (Stavroula) Saunders (1941-) married Ross in 1977. Over the years, some of her short stories and articles, written from her Greek-Australian background, have been published. In her work life, Lula was a bookseller and a museum professional. She quotes from one of Ross' unpublished stories:
I remembered a time when I was in a small Australian outback town, leading workshops in radio program production for Aboriginal broadcasters. There was one Greek cafe in this town. As I am married to a Greek, I went there for a meal and introduced myself to him. ‘Ross?’ he said. ‘Ross? What sort of name is that for someone married to a Greek? I’ll call you 'Lambros'.  ‘Good name, too. In Greek it means light, bright, radiant.’
