Subject: blast from the past

What a great idea! We returned to Australia at the end of '84, having really enjoyed our 2 years in PNG. Having said that, we were really glad to get home. We moved back into our old house and I resumed my old job (agriculture teacher at Ferny Grove SHS. Ros fell pregnant almost immediately, and so along came Joshua (now 15 yrs). He was subsequently joined by Rachel (now 13) and Chloe (10 yrs). I moved on to teach at Dakabin SHS for 10 years, and then we decided to move to the country. We bought a little farm outside Warwick (2 hrs drive from Brisbane), where we now grow Eucalyptyus foliage for the flower trade and breed a few cows and sheep. The farm is 100 ha and we love it out here. We still both teach. I am at The SCOTS PGC College (a co-ed boarding school) and Ros teaches at Warwick Central SS. Our kids attend Scots PGC.
Our ministry (other than school) is now centred on our local church. I am an elder, and this year we will be taking on the leadership of the junior youth group!!
I'd love to hear from pasat students and old teaching colleagues. Wendy - we'll write again soon!!
