Sadly, I don't have a lot of photos of my life before wife number 2, Rowena. She ripped up every photo I had, including family photos in a fit of temper. I was able to copy some that my sister had though. I was adopted at birth after my adopted mother lost a baby shortly after it was born. Sadly, this was kept from me for most of my life, thus denying me the chance to know my natural mother. I eventually found out at my adopted mother's funeral where the priest didn't mention me as one of the children, and over my adopted sister Marys protests, I was able to obtain my birth records and managed to meet my natural father whom I'm exceedingly proud of, some months before he passed away.

My natural parents married some years after my birth when my father returned from the Kakoda track where he had fought the last months of the war.
Here I am with my adopted sister, Mary. As I said, the match was near perfect. Who would believe that we are not related? I Don't!
I started to ride horses at a very early age and went on to own two.
Never could dance, but here I am about to go to my first. Had the biggest brat in my class for my date too.
After my last divorce, I knocked around Kings Cross on the Harley. Looking after street kids and generally having a ball. Here I am at one of the toy runs.
Always loved dogs, but this one belonged to the O'Connors, our next door neighbors. In those days, we had a hole cut in the fence so we could wander between each other's houses.

We knew every person who lived in the street in those days, and we were all friends. I still know some of them today 55 years later.

She tore up all the photos of wife number 1 Liz.
Not to mention many of my family photos.

Wife Number 3 Roslyn
Who makes sure that I never get to see my son Alan John.
Best Girl of the Lot "Horatio"
Cheaper to feed too.
Girls are easy to find when you ride a bike
At the Sydney Mardi Gras
You figure it out.
Some years ago, I was lucky enough to win a $20,000 family trip to Disneyland and San Deigo.

I took my mate Chris along with me, as I didn't have a family to take.

He paid for a couple more days and we went down to Tijuana in Mexico for a day.

We had a great time, though Minnie Mouse was the best I could do.
VH-BQJ at South Coast Aero Club way back in 1979 when I was just finishing off my Un-restricted Pilot's Licence
Here's the Judd Street Gang.
My old neighbor Valerie gave me this one. It's Mary, Peter and myself in their back yard.
