[PeterG in Oz]

Hi everybody form Australia

I don't know if anyone is reading this now as it would seem the last log on this subject, 'Alan Cornthwaite' seems to have been made some time ago.

Well, I am Peter Gregory and I was Alan's best friend when at Nayler's and beyond for a few years. I then moved to Gloucesterhire and we seem to lose touch, as you do.

I then moved to Australia in November 1982. I have spoken with Alan a couple of times from Oz but not gone any further with this.

Now, as for age I can perhaps help. I turned 65 in August of this year and I know that Alan was about 12 months older than I. I think his birthday is in April, but not sure.

The last time I spoke with him he was living in Huncoat I think.

Now I married in September of 1966 to Jean Rushton. Her father had the Rising Bridge Post Office but died unfortunately a couple of years later with cancer. Her mother Marion re-married a couple of years later but again unfortunately he died of a heart attack a couple of years later. she never re-married.

Jean and I divorced in 1978 and I remarried to Marilyn Hyde (nee Pearce) from Cheltenham and we moved to Australia in November of 1982, where we have been ever since.

We now live in Perth. I have four children, two with Jean - a boy Nick (40yrs) and Joanne (37 years) - and two children with Marilyn - Peter (23 yrs) and Oliver (19 yrs). I have four grandchildren, two girls and two boys, they are Mustapha, Sara, Connor and Georgia.

I have stayed in the printing industry all this time (50 years it was in September of this year) and currently I look after the print division of the largest independent supplier of stationery and office supplies in Western Australia, called Quick Corporate Australia Pty Ltd

Well having said all that it is someone else's turn so I look forward to comments, if anyone has any of course.

Regards from Oz

Peter
