dad as a young fella

here are a few cool old picks of my dad in the 50's and early 60's. from top to bottom: on a trip with a mate to ninety mile beach (nice wheels eh); hanging from a pylon cleaning an insulator (he was a linesman for many years); and posing with his cuzzies.

It's a good thing I'm a good partner, or your dad would have opened up a can of old-fashioned King Country woop-ass on me. He was a kind man, but tough as nails.
