Now own/ operate Ozefridge Industries in SA & the Phlippines. Married several times and acumulated 7 kids along the way. Enjoy travel, exploring and fossicking.

    57 – Sutherland, Grant – – Many memories. Being told by Headmaster WC Head in 4th year that if I did not stop wearing shorts to school my priveledges would be cut off.
