Beryl Plumptre
b. 1908, Melbourne, Australia

In a l976 report, Telling It Like It Is, she gained her reputation as protector of the consumer and as an inflation fighter. In her retirement, elected Reeve of Rockcliffe Village; served on several boards; she now directs her energies towards her splendid garden, remaining engaged in public policy discussion, and learning the computer.

"I became really directed by economic interests toward consumers because I felt that was one of the very important parts of a family."
