Message from Rod Benson ...

Andrew

 

Finally got around to replying. Not a great fan of internet chit chat.

Quick summary

Went to Uni in Armidale for accounting degree and diploma (took year off labouring in Gove decided office job for me).

Worked for Binder Hamlyn accountants for 2 or 3 years then as accountant for a number of different companies in Sydney. Did get an offer to be an accountant for a very Italian family in a very Italian business once.

Move to Scone to be Financial Accountant for the Council, then the Mines and then Bursar for the Grammar School. (Chris Bullock was headmaster until just before I started but taught my kids)

Move to Newcastle did a few different accounting jobs and now retired. 

Have five kids and eight grandkids (by October). Two boys one in Dublin fiddling the stock markets and the other in Sydney fiddling with Sydney trains. Two of the girls in Newcastle in Finance and one in Canberra in Insurance.

Going to Dublin next week to see six month old grand child and probably to Spain for 3 weeks.

That’s it in a nutshell

 

Notice a lot of Street House representatives this weeks lunch wish them well
