This photo appears on page 3 of the Vol 1 No 1, March 1983 issue of the Rheumatism and Arthritis Association of Victoria's quarterly newsletter, News Review. According to the brief article beneath the photo, Mrs Shone received the award "for her ingenuity in inventing simple aids for fellow arthritics which allow them to be more self-sufficient". Mrs Shone also received a cash prize of $500, which she donated to the Frankston Hospital for extensions to the physiotherapy department, where she receives treatment at the arthritis clinic for several hours each week.B&W photo of four women, smiling, posing for a photo.
