What did your parents do for a living?

My father was a cook/chef in commercial catering all his life. Trained in the Cambridge colleges before the war. Served in WW2 in Burma in the RAF in a field kitchen. Migrated to Oz as a member of the British Olympic team support crew for the Melbourne Olympics in 1956 and walked straight into a major hospital kitchen after that. Worked there for many years, running the place, then moved to the State Electricity Commission planning and advising on commercial kitchens in building projects. Won a award in the hotel olympics in the commercial catering division that got him a trip to Switzerland and was part of an SEC team sent to Darwin after cyclone Tracy to rewire the whole city, using his WW2 canteen experience.The military in charge there had him stay a couple of weeks after the rewiring as his set up was basically feeding every rescue/rebuilding team there, until the army could get organised. Then he returned to the SEC. passed away in 1978. My Mother was basically his wife the whole time.😷
