DAD WAS BORN IN SPOFFORTH STREET, CREMORNE, THE SON OF MICHAEL AND GERTRUDE PAGE. HE HAD AN ELDER SISTER,
MADELEINE. MADELEINE HAD RED HAIR AND WE BOYS LOVINGLY CALLED HER
‘RED’.

ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT MEET OUR PATERNAL GRANDPARENTS, THEY HAD A GREAT INFLUENCE ON DAD. MICHAEL, DAD’S FATHER, WAS PRESIDENT OF THE JOEY’S OLD BOYS AND WAS REPONSIBLE FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE OLD SYDNEY TOWN HALL GATES THAT ARE NOW THE GATES OF ST JOSEPH’S COLLEGE, HUNTER’S HILL.
