Miscellaneous
This is the first in a series of interviews with people. This one is raw, uncut and unedited. It's with my beautiful 'Earth Father' Roy. Earth family was a term I invented to describe my relationship with those people in my life who were my heroes but not related to me biologically. My bond with this man surpassed all others. Roy knew my father and grandmother before I was born. When I went to live with my grandmother Uncle Roy (along with his wife Rhona) helped her to raise me. I spent most of my time with them and he taught me how to ride horses. He was my hero. The year he turned 90 I asked if I could record interviews with him. This was the first one of those sessions. During this interview he shares; How his parents met Early years The impact of the Depression Farming life The breakout of the war Rottnest Island 2 years with little sleep His role in the war in New Guinea and New Britian Horses I hope you enjoy listening to him share as much as I did. My name is Sherry and I have always been curious about people. As an 18 year old I worked as a journalist at our small country newspaper. I loved hearing peoples stories and sharing them with the world. I went on to study Psychology, Gender Studies, Sexology and NLP. These days I spend my time helping people to start their own business and running workshops and retreats for personal development. If you'd like to know more about me please or know someone who has a great story you think should be shared please get in touch through my website.
