| Since our last reunion in 1991, a few things
have changed in my life. I am still a crane truck driver, but am now
employed by a private firm sub-contracting to Auspine Building Centre,
following their take-over of Cowells Building Supplies. My service
record continues (coming up to 15 years, which is a bloody record in
itself !!).
I am still with Shelley, whom I married in 1988 (another
record) and we built a new home at Oakden in 1998.
I have two sons from my first marriage.
Scott is now 28 and living in Alice Springs, where he
works as a warehouse manager for a firm supplying all manner of goods to a
large number of Aboriginal Communities and stations in the Northern
Territory, Queensland and Western Australia. He also works part-time
at "Centabet". He has two sons and a daughter with his
partner (soon to be wife) Karen.
Shane is 27 and lives in Gawler with his wife Leonie,
where he is a partner in a radiator repair business with his
father-in-law.
My step-daughter, Carmen, is 19 and studying at Regency TAFE
Hotel School. She is doing an Advanced Diploma in Hospitality
Management and also works part-time at The Hyatt, in the city. She
has recently returned from 5 weeks in Sydney, where she worked in the
Sports Illustrated Corporate suite, at the Olympics, and has caught the
"travel" bug big time.
My step-son, Mark, aged 17, is currently working
part-time in the retail industry. His biggest claim to
"fame" so far is writing off our Commodore, two days after
receiving his "P’s". He is OK.
I don’t have any amusing anecdotes to share at this
time as the old Alzheimer's has just kicked in … I’ll see if I can
remember what I’m supposed to remember, by whenever I’m supposed to
remember it by ?????
All the best.
Rob …. er (Nicolai, I think )
