His childhood experiences differed greatly from recent generations and was interesting active and fun, most of the time.He joined the Australian Army and served as an Infantry Soldier in the Vietnam War. Active service was deadly and dangerous, but lived to tell the tale. He was wounded along with many other Australian Soldiers who experienced soldiering in the Vietnam conflict. Strong bonds were forged with many men he served with both within a peace and war setting. Even though the circumstances were dangerous and difficult there were bursts of humour within the chaos.On discharge from the Army he joined the Queensland Police Force which was steeped in graft and corrupt practises. Again, humorous events prevailed, even in this unpalatable environment.He attended Uni and credentialed as a Psychologist managing a Counselling support service for Vietnam Veterans. He has worked privately and in Government Agencies particularly in the area of acute mental healthRetired and enjoying life in Romsey Victoria, with his wife Lis of 35 years and adores and dotes on his Son and Grandson.He is physically and mentally active and is addicted to golf which he plays badly. His wife is a better golfer than him and believes this could be good grounds for divorce. Needless to say, Lis is unconcerned about this Hollow threat.view less
