His memories of the seminary are mostly happy, Hogwarts-style ones. He’s still working on the Catholic guilt bit.

He reads everything, from corn flake packets to Homer, and has completed several novels which are soon to be published as ebooks.
Barry and his wife Patricia live on The Central Coast north of Sydney.показать меньше
