Life History:
I transferred to Sydney half way through 3rd Year (1970) and then returned to Adelaide at the end of High School when my father's job brought him back to Adelaide.  Played volleyball briefly with David Wright and Malcolm Wilson on my return but somehow got out of touch. (I think my volleyball skills were probably the problem)

Attended Adelaide Uni for a number of years and managed to finish 2 years of Mechanical Engineering, then 2 years of Economics. Started a part time hobby business in my second year of Economics and discovered that earning money could fund my passion for girls and fast cars. Quit Uni and went full time in the hobby business and am still doing so 30 years on. Check out www.modelflight.com.au to see what it's all about. Went back to Uni in 1990 and completed a Commerce degree.
Plane

Married Janine in 1978, have 3 daughters, 25, 23, 18 with eldest on holidays in Europe, youngest on student exchange in Denmark. No.2 is an accountant.

Likes: Just about any sport but AFL/Crows the best, motor sport, flying model planes, holidays & family.

Memories: The great footy teams from GPHS in 2nd and 3rd year; the defection to Gaza Football Club in 3rd Year; breaking Ian Law's nose at my first attempt at Hockey; * being so proud to take Linda Turner to the 1st Year Social as she was the hottest girl in first year*.

*Amended after shameless piking by Mike after being told that Linda very likely to be at the reunion:   "In light of your comments, perhaps I should modify it to read something like this:
being so proud to take Linda Turner to the 1st Year Social as she was the hottest girl in first year.
Safer I think."
