Bank 6 years with Burwood Council (NSW) I have settled into retirement easily. Still play Table Tennis after 55 years and represent NSW at Australian Veterans TT Championships. Took up Lawn bowls 6 years ago and as usual have taken over as Secretary to keep myself active. Swim with an RSL social club and am quite fit for my age. At other times keeping in touch with 11 garndchildren takes some doing. Won the GPS Old Boys Lawn Bowls tournament 2009 with some boys of my era - the only time I have represented the school so was quite chuffed ! Never rose to any great hights in the business world but have enjoyed the life I have created for myself. After 35 years in the Comm.

Recently I completed studies at Moore Theological College. These days I love criss-crossing the Sydney CBD, occasionally meeting up with Old Boys' I taught in the Sydney High Inter-School Christian Fellowship from 1999-2003 in my work with the City Bible Forum (www.citybibleforum.org), helping out with some lunchtime Bible forums, and running get-togethers for young city workers. I still pass the school on my way into work on the bus nearly everyday! Tho Luu (1993)

I have served on the board of a number of companies in the personnel, manufacturing, building services and agricultural industries and worked across a range of industries in growing companies including publishing, retail, building services, web design and importation. I currently serve on the boards of two companies - ARB Corporation Limited (world-wide four wheel drive aftermarket equipment manufacture and distribution), and Robson Civil (infrastructure construction projects in civil, rail and mining industries).
