My future wife Olga Hornung, followed me in 1954. We married on 8th May 1954 at Immaculate Conception Church in East Fremantle. I worked for two years at the oil refinery in Kwinana, from 1955 to my retirement. I worked for the State Engineering Works. We have 5 children and we built our house in Hamilton Hill between 1958 and early 1960's. I have worked at the State Shipping yard on ships and for Fremantle Harbour Trust on the wharves. Our 5 children are healthy and taxpayers. My wife, Olga, worked for a year at the Kwinana Oil Refinery Camp. We have celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary.
