Guess I  have spent the past 28 years in Employee Relations, Learning and Development, Industrial Relations and Safety, with 12 of the past 14 years spent living and working in Indonesia.

Memories -I have fond memories of Bundy High School. I enjoyed those years and recall people such as Howard Bamsey, Lillian Barnett, Ian Bedford, Roger Clarke, Ian Dorricott, Ken Piaggio, Bronny Rose, Laurie Russell and many more indeed.

Can remember being quite proud of our 1966 senior year groups and their achievements.

Over the years, lost contact with pretty well all of the old senior school team – of course we all went our separate ways - time to catch up again.

I am lucky to have good health and enjoy the work that I do.

Being a granddad and also new dad concurrently is also really wonderful as well.
