Dedication: During the hard times of the 1930s Depression, my great grandparents Violet and Jim Matthews owned a grocery store in Culcairn, NSW. The business folded because Violet continually gave foof to people who were struggling and couldn't afford to pay.
This spirit of generosity lives very much in my parents, Brian and Val and brother John. This book is dedicated to them with love.
And to Mark and Dillon, the centre of things.
