I am a retired Industrial Arts, Engineering Science and Computing teacher. I am in my second marriage (to an ex-pat American from up-state New York). I have 3 children (a son and two daughters) from my first marriage and 7 grandchildren (3 boys and 4 girls). Carrie and I live in our own home at Springwood, in the beautiful Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia.
Springwood is 72 kilometres west of Sydney, and 30 kilometres (19 miles) east of Katoomba. Springwood has a population of 8,200 (2006 Census) and has an elevation of 371 metres( 1217 feet).
I was born at Leeton in the South West of NSW.
I used to play rugby league football, cricket, basketball and baseball and refereed Rugby League football for 25 years in country NSW. I also commanded a school military cadet unit for 13 years. My hobbies are travel, family history, gardening, stamp and coin collecting, and photography. I enjoy collecting all sorts of postcards and corresponding with people of any age. I volunteer two days a week at the Family History Centre at Springwood Library and two days a week at the Blue Mountains History Research Centre at Wentworth Falls.
I have travelled to Europe 5 times, to USA 6 times, to New Zealand 7 times and to Norfolk Island once. Much of my travel is due to my service on the Australian Lions National (Multiple District 201) Youth Exchange Committee. I was a member of Lions from 1974 - 2001.
