Joined the force  1 April 1968 with Wally Wesner.  Upon our arrival we met Al and he showed us the ropes.  Upon getting our uniform and some kit,  I was called back to stores and the long and short of it given 3 days extra duties.  What a start!

 

After training I was posted to Gibsons, where I met my wife Diana.  We were married in April 1970.  In Dec 71 we had a son Dwayne, who has blessed us with 3 grandgirls.  Our daughter Jennifer was born in August 1973, no children.
