Hi there everyone. I am living in Sydney with my lovely wife Jing and her 18yr old daughter. I have a couple of degrees, but I find myself driving a truck for a living. It is a good job with pretty tidy money so I am not complaining. I moved from NZ about 3 yrs ago because Jing is a teacher of Chinese Dance and we thought there would be more of a market here in Sydney. This is so faproving to be correct. I miss the fresh air of NZ but I do love the smells of Sydney in the evening when things cool down and the scents of Sydney's flower life are everywhere I miss rugby union and I am happy that Robbie is noe the Wallaby coach. It may encourage interest in the game here. I have decided that over the years, as I have matured ha ha that I am a Monarchist, that the NZ Army was a very rich experience that I am only now beginning to appreciate. Youth is wasted on the young. I attended the Burrows Class 20th reunion in 94. It was greatto march on that old parade ground behind Maleme Barracks again and to mention to Morrie Watts that where he had painted over the "grad 73" graffiti on the B Coy roof had still not been repainted.I spoke at length to Paul Creedy who ha since died too young at 46. Moments like these are priceless to me. I have so many, thanks to many of you. It woukld be nice to hear some of your stories. I know life has not always been easy, but I think it always has promise and it is made worthwhile by the association of good friends. Take care guys. Lindsay. email linbow122@yahoo.com
