"not a cross word in all that time"
We were married at Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Catholic Church, Ballarat Road, Maidstone

Best friend Brian Leonard was my Groomsman

If my memory serves me correct it was a particularly hot day,

If my memory serves me correct it was a particularly hot day,
(over 100 degrees in
the old scale), and as luck (bad that is) should have it,
there was a brewery strike on with a resultant shortage of beer.
Notwithstanding we somehow managed to scrape together enough
bottles to complement the standard "niner", which I have
absolutely no idea of how or from where it was obtained.
Despite January 12 1963 being such a hot day, Melbourne registered
it's "STILL" highest ever January 24hr Rainfall On Record of 108.0mm
and it's "STILL" highest ever January Rainfall On Record of 176.0mm,
against an Average January Rainfall of 48.0mm.

What's that they say
about Melbourne weather?
The years have been kind to us in many ways,
not the least having been blessed with three children,
Carolyn, Julie - (Justin), Anthony - (Megan)
and six grandchildren,
