Doing what you do well, without fanfare, in a way that serves others.

Tell us two things most people don’t know about you…
1. Both sides of my family migrated from England in the 1860s and were pioneers of different parts of Melbourne. Chivers Road in Templestowe    is named after my mother’s side and Toogood’s Rise in Box Hill after my father’s.
2. I’m a member of the Melbourne Dickens Fellowship. Think of it as a Charles Dickens book club. We meet once a month and new members are always welcome!
