To Kopenhagen and the runners up.

 

I love the extra awards you have given, Pimpy. Very rewarding.

 

I do have very old clothes in my wardrobe, but could not find the time to take photos.

Was a very enjoyable challenge.

Well done Kopenhagen.  I'd really like to know a bit more about your Dad.  I was wondering whether he was a conservationist or what?

Hi joono,

A little about my father.

 

He was amongst those fathers that worked full time, members of various sporting clubs, on several committees and still had time to raise a family.

 

He was a Managing Director in one of the largest shipping n trading companies in the world at the time.

A time when large companies together with banks were not just about profit but ensuring the security and welfare of Nations by setting up and providing employment, shelter, food and clothing. It was all about managing the bigger picture.

 

My father was in England, Denmark, Japan, Pakistan, Thailand and of course Australia. Many of the Directors were known to enjoy the occasional parties, but my father was often asked to look after certain diplomats or VIP's of other Nations as he didn't partake in many frivolities and was considered a man of high integrity.

He also oversaw the development of new techniques within industries.

 

Just some of the industries the company was involved in were -

Meat producers

Dairy products

Grain n cereals

Fruit, veg and nuts

Coffee,tea,cocoa and spices

Animal feed

Beverages

Tobacco

Hides and skins

Oilseeds and kernels

Rubber incl synthetic

Wood, timber n cork

Paper pulp

Veg fibres

Textiles for yarns

Veg oil n fats

Chemicals

Varnish n paints

Pharmaceuticals

Furniture

Paper n cardboard goods

Fabrics

Porcelain

Iron n steel

Non ferrous metals

Metal goods

Machinery

Printing equipment

Electric machinery

Vehicles

Ships n shipping

 

My father also competed in the world water ski championships and helped the Japanese build their first water ski club in Japan.

Sailed an olympic class yacht, Dragon in Denmark.

Everywhere he went, he was always very positive and willing to help. He still is and enjoys sharing cooking experiences from around the world with others. So keen to share the best of what he knows.

 

He has always been the rock in my life and kept our family strong. At 86 years of age and 100% here, still completely fit, I totally admire him and feel priviledged to have been born into this family.  Heart
