He lived in Manaia, ten miles from Hawera, with his parents Doris and Laurie Hamilton. He went to Manaia Public School, then to Hawera Technical High School. After leaving school he took a job at the Manaia telephone exchange, until joining the Royal NZ Navy on the 20th May 1957 for eight years. These eight years were in a branch he didn’t like and he spent the next eight years trying to get out of, so he took up volunteering for anything, but a steward. He did service in Operation Grapple, Malaya, Borneo, Thai Malay border, Indonesian confrontation and Antarctic 60 south.
After leaving the Navy in 1965 he took a job at the Tasman Hotel where he met Barbara, his wife to be. They were married in February 1967 but were unable to have children owing to the fact of radiation. They adopted two lovely children, a boy Russell, and a girl Chantelle He retired from the Inglewood factory and went into partnership with his son, then at the retiring age, took up writing his first book.показать меньше
