Biographie de l'auteur

Following the depressing period of my youth I found contentment with Jean who I happily married. Although I qualified for the Weight Lifting Finals of the 1962 Commonwealth Games, I declined, being determined to catch up on my lack of education. I was aware my long-term future was far more important than winning any short-term glory. Having become an electro mechanical engineer I joined a company as Chief Engineer becoming personally responsible for the design, and manufacture of the first Automatic Parking and Toll Equipment, controlled by security cards, or coins. By my mid thirties Ia*d qualified as a Technical Sales Executive for a large Public Company responsible for sales and entertaining Government Officials and other potential clients throughout Europe and beyond. During which time I qualified to become a Fellow of the Institute of British Management. One of my most unexpected experiences was to spend months in India looking for viable business opportunities. As was being flown from Bombay for inspection of oilrigs within the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. Another was becoming involved in the Angolan war. When the South African Government became aware I was deported with the warning, never to return. How this country boy grew up to live such an unpredictable and exhilarating life is all a story for another day, or two.
