You have some interesting stories, my friend. I need to look at a map and see where these places are. I'm afraid geography was a long time ago. I enjoyed this, but you should have taken the train trip~Debbie

Yes Debbie I have repented myself many. many times. After all I have seen Sound Of Music tons of times following that one time I gave up the trip to Hobart on the train. I think I was a bit tired that was why I dipped out on it ...an 11 hour trip. Thanks for the great review hope you will have a look at some of the other chapters if you have not done so. Can't remember if we talked before I added a new chapter at the start of this for the Introduction. No rewards on it now sadly.

Hi Sis, just getting back to you. You will be surprised to find BIG changes in these chapters about School. I am not gonna tell just yet. Wait till the big REVIVE Certificate review coming up in October. Some stuff you have never read before. Chapter dic=visionand and numbers have changed this was about the second half of my High School education and a trip I made and Dad's visit. you can sneak a look if you want but wait till the REVIVE Certificate comes along. I think I must have lost some material ion some of these chapters has heaps of stuff I thought was in some of them MISSING! I am fixing that.

Sankey, this is a great trip down memory line. Love the photo that so aptly depicts the era and dress. Skinny ties. White shirts black pants. Great installment to the story. :0 GracieAnn

It's terrible the damage that can be done when the father leaves. A visit for an hour? Really! My sister's husband left her with three children to raise, and none of them did well in school, although they were extremely bright. I think it was because they didn't have their father's influence. You might have gone on if your dad had been around. I love the way your show your interest in music throughout your writing. Interesting reference to "The Lost Chord." Although you didn't continue your education, you kept music right at the top of your interests. Just wanted to update by saying how great that you include so many pictures. judi

Seems to be lots of new material here. I like the Facebook stuff. That would be nice to see if you can get some more of that. There's a facebook page for our High School and another couple for "I Love Alhambra" (my town growing up) that has people talking about the old days, stores that are gone, things we used to do and the like. Lots of info and memory jarring things there. You lost your perfect pitch? I didn't know that could happen. That can be a pain sometimes for the person that has it. I had a friend that had a difficult time listening to recordings because she always heard anything that was out of pitch. It got worse when they'd speed the record up a tad to make it sound tighter. The whole thing would be off. Hahaha.

Yeah trying to sell my piano atm want a new piano I guess shipping would be a problem hehe. Just had an idea there are a few Aussies on here should put an add on my profile for the Aussies. have come down in price quite a bit. can't hear it anymore and Louise wants more space in the lounge room you probably saw the pictures of it on my FB Timeline. Funny I get some of the real serious reviewers that do take the time to really examine and recommends good changes. Then when I go i to change stuff inspiration bites again that explains the new stuff ha! Glad you noticed. made another Bro in the Lord Friend again today FS is full of us mate. I probably haven't lost perfect Pitch just don't hear music well enough and I have to be real careful when everything sounds out of tune as it is probably a bad hearing day. Lord Bless my friend.

I never had to worry about looking for work after high school. I got a job and was always employed. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

I guess being from a broken home in them days could have made employers a little wary if that is the word of me and my reliability as an employee. I did envy people's ability to get work after school believe me. Also in my younger days I was subject to more bouts of bronchitis and so on even had pneumonia 4 times in my life altogether. Thanks again my dear friend. managed to grab a whole swag of new reviewers so now a lot of work cleaning up their discoveries hehe. God Bless.

Thanks Sis. I know a lot of my music comes from the Lord. Only a Sis in the Lord (you are a Sis right?) would appreciate that angle. But God gave me some good teachers both privately and in school. Back in those days I had to do a language because I also wanted to do Special Music. Hope you have seen some of my Carols and stuff in FS.

I'm walking in every step in your well written autobiography Geoff, your high school years seems to be relatively uneventful compared to your younger years, nice writing, you have been illuminating and open in your self effacing work, well done, blessings, Roy,

Thanks Bro glad I had the Lord even though I did not have the testimony in school I ought to have had. I did say to another new friend in here I was keen to get out as I never really had any friends in school and no one attempted to keep in touch from either Primary or Secondary levels.

Well done, looking forward,
Comment from CR Delport
In high school you wanted nothing more than to finish and get out into the world. A few years later, you wish you could go back. The story is interesting and the way you tell it shows the personal connection. Job well done.

Thanks very much friend. You got that right. I was not real happy in school as you probably deduced already. The truth of it shows when no one from Primary or Hugh School sought to keep in touch after I left both levels.

More of this sweet story is always a pleasure. Fathers often have no conception of the harm they do when they up and leave the family....many of us are still at effect from growing up with absent or non engaged fathers. It is something from which I don't think anyone recovers.

Thanks very much for coming back. I think I may have said someplace I don't believe I was as damaged as my elder brother on dad's departure. Joe was 12 when Dad left and I have always said anyone coming into puberty losing that Male Role model in the family is in big trouble. Pretty sure I did say though, I grew more in the Lord because my Dad was not around. I had some great role models to follow in church and most of my School teachers... except a couple I pointed out.I should fan you or both of us for each other as you are being a great supporter. Hope you looked at that correction I did earlier on your suggestion and more was added also. Thanks again.
