Standard suspension late in &#8217;68 for drinking &#8211; I blame Peter Ellerman, he seems to be the common link.  Younger sisters Belinda (<em>Lulu<\/em>) and Jane Willis were at CCEGGS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: -0.37cm; margin-bottom: 0cm\">Managed to avoid being called up in the 1969 &#8216;draft&#8217; &#8211; unlike a few of our number.  Short stint at ANU 1970\/71 where I majored in drinking (Deakin Inn\/Scottish Bar\/Settlers Bar\/ANU Union), partying (Union and Halls of Residence), and not attending Law lectures (due to pressing engagements at various Vietnam Moratorium marches, anti-apartheid rallies at Springbok games, Festivals of University Drama, and at pool tables and card tables generally).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: -0.37cm; margin-bottom: 0cm\">Travelled to London overland through Asia, &#8216;Asia Minor&#8217; and Eastern Europe in early &#8217;74, and returned through Russia, Japan and the Philippines in early &#8217;75.  Twice married &#8211; to Helen Michalak in &#8217;75, and now to the gorgeous Jen.  Six fantastic children between us &#8211; Nick (33), Amanda (29), Hayley (25), Annie (24), James (18) and Stephen (13).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: -0.37cm; margin-bottom: 0cm\">Have worked for the Australian Government since &#8217;75 (broken by a premature, and short-lived, retirement in &#8217;96\/97) &#8211; mostly in positions related to Tourism Industry policy, but including working in the offices of a number of Tourism Ministers and as Government Relations Manager for Tourism Australia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: -0.37cm; margin-bottom: 0cm\">Love travel and fishing &#8211; the combination of which has taken me to many of Australia&#8217;s great unspoilt regions &#8211; Torres Strait, west coast of Tassie, the Kimberley and the Coral Coast.  Jen and I look forward to exploring more of our great land in retirement &#8211; which I am sure will happen one day!  In the meantime, I continue to enjoy an occasional glass or two with Messrs Barnes, Bootes, Crick and Ellerman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G C S Brown G C S Brown &#8211; Geoff Brown &#8211; 1963\/64 as a Burgmann House day boy, later years as a Jones House boarder, short lived return in early &#8217;69 to upgrade &#8220;less than acceptable&#8221; &#8217;68 HSC result.
