Well! Well!
I am the only son of English and Greek immigrants. What a mixture you may say! Yes! Indeed I am. I have the philosophy of the Greeks and the stubbornness of the English.

My parents came from the other side of the world and created me in god’s haven of plenty. With not a very happy childhood of abuse and poverty my mother gave me the basics of life to grow with, not like so many kids today.

My mother taught me the finer things about the written word and that knowledge is power. Not like one of my school teachers who said I had the mind of a St Kilda con man!

As the passage of life has passed, it has been good to me. I have many options, much love, many opportunities, and have been surrounded in this great country of Australia.

I lived in inner Melbourne, spent my formative life in Gippsland at a boarding school and then spent my teens in a trades industry.

I have had many jobs, and professions. Directors of companies, bake house fitter, community worker in PNG, mechanic and self employed. Self employed you may say, yes! Even in military maintenance of tanks, APC’s, and armory.

My greatest achievement is the fact that I will leave this world and apart from my children having made a difference to so many lives. From the people who I have worked with, loved, mentored, trained, and those I have given so much to.

In the end it will be said “thyne will be done” Gerald Victor
