PoW Memories: - mixed. Mateships, sport, and the devilment we got up to was great. Disipline and acedemic
components were a 'pain'.
Career: Usual run of the mill stuff, Joined KCC, National Service with the Kenya Regiment, and then to college
for 3 years in Scotland on a scholarship.
Then went back to Kenya for a few years, Nairobi, Thomsons Falls, Eldoret. Played quite a bit of hockey and rugby. Got
married to a Danish Peace Corps girl (Lizzi) and we decided to get the hell out of Africa. Not the place to raise a family.
Been in Australia for 35 years. Aussi has been very good to us. Arrived in Brisbane on the Thursday, interviw on the
Friday, started with the Dept of Primary Industries on the Monday. Similarly Lizzi with the Qld University. Both of us
have been with them ever since, although I changed from DPI Dairying to DPI Fisheries about 15 years ago.
3 daughters and one grand daughter (and a grand son to come in a few months). We all live within a km or so of each
other, which is nice. I am 64 now, and we are both considering retiring in the next few of years. Hard decision, as there
are not many jobs where you get paid to go fishing!
