I was born in Wagin where my parents had a farm, I attended school there til the age of ten. In 1940 we came to Boddington. With the help of a half brother and us kids we built a shop (Now R.J’s). Finished schooling here and worked in shops and the hospital until we started our nursery. That kept us (husband Fred and me) busy and out of trouble.
