Vale Max
Hi MrPig,
I'm guessing you're one of Max's children (career details are a bit of a giveaway?)?
I joined EWA with Max in 1973; we'd known each other a bit in the Pilbara prior to that. We'd had no contact since '89 but I'm still saddened by his passing. 16 years of a shared working life is something to hold on to.
Max was always amusing, with a weird sense of humour, great alternate outlook - I thought the house he built in Tamworth was really clever. I also ate a box of his and Mr B's zucchinis and visited the Peel River Farm.
I remember the house in Beverley Hills on King George's Road where he first lived in Sydney.
I never flew with Max (except as a passenger to TMW on a Fokker). Our discussions were always in the crew room or over a beer - Max was a great conversationalist. I'm sure you miss him.
He was my friend; vale Max.
