SGT (Join to see) A nephew, the one that is a Lt Cdr in the Australian Navy has ‘deployed’ to Timor.
In the 1980s, he couldn’t find a teaching position in the US. A ‘girls’ school in Toowomba, Australia offered him a slot that he accepted. Later recruited as an officer by the Australian military, he has had a career there. Cynthia Croft
