After mucking around for a few years, including working in a saw mill for a
year on the island and doing an apprenticeship in carpentry, I worked in
that line for awhile.
Well I did the Europe thing in 1981 and met an aussie girl who I
subsequently married and moved to Australia.
We have two girls, Tara 22, who is currently studying law at the University
of Western Australia, she finishes in december and will be a lawyer. very
scary. Shakira is 19 and in her second year of media studies at Uni. I split from my wife a few years ago and have now met a lovely lady from
Perth.
I have tried several jobs over the years, including working as a prison
guard, which was a life changing experience to say the least.
I guess I am back in the building industry now, although lately, I have been
working on my own place in Scarborough WA.
I was in Vancouver for a month this summer(my winter) and had a fantastic
time, camping and sight seeing the most beautiful place on earth. I hope to be back next summer, as there is so much more to see. Hope you all have a great time at the reunion, maybe catch you next time.

Hey Chris, it's great to see you are still out there. I kind of lost touch with you and hoped to hear from you someday. I was in Melbourne & Launceston (Tas) for about 10 days on business (March 2007). We are suppling most of the equipment for a new sawmill @ Bell Bay Tasmania. FEA Timber. While I was there I searched the internet and the telephone directory but couldn't locate you. You missed out on dinner and VB. Although Perth is a little far to come for dinner. Contact me Chris sbraddick@telus.net
