SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
      "The explosion in INDOMITABLE in 1953 resulted in my being off-loaded to Malta, to be reunited with Zena & baby Mitch much earlier than expected."  

POST-RN CAREER
      "I enjoyed 16 years in the RAF, retiring in 1983 as a Squadron Leader."

POST-RAF CAREER
      "I worked in Zimbabwe from February 1983 to May 1988, working as a Training Consultant - mainly in management and instructional skills. Things changed in April 1983 when both Zena & I turned our lives over to the care of the Lord. We had been searching for the true meaning of life all our married lives and in 1983 the realisation of who we really are meant to be really sunk in. Since then, we have the best time ever, living our lives with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour."
       "We returned to England in May '88 until May '92. The highlight was helping to pioneer a part-time Bible School for busy Christians. This started in September '89 with 55 students and is still going strong with 192 students this year."
      "In May 1992, we moved to Hanna in Alberta and we came to beautiful Vancouver Island in May 1995."

HOBBIES & PASTIMES
      "Being grandparents to about 40 lively teenagers in our church      youth group."
