We commit this Historic montage to essentially pay tribute to our sponsor, the late Archbishop William Foley, Catholic Immigration WA. We arrived as newlyweds with baby Spencer while Anne was pregnant with Sean. Our worldly possessions consisted of two steel trunks and $14 cash. Having left all the family and friends behind, gracious Father Foley was our welcoming host and earthly savour. In essence we had pioneered the way for our families who soon followed amid the wave of Anglo-Indians escaping changing times in India.
