From Daughter Christine:<\/p>\n

My father is Alexander Griffiths, he started to work in AWA in 1942 as a telegraphist.\u00a0His work took the family\u00a0to\u00a0Western Australia, Suva, and Fanning Island and he worked on the Apollo missions as well. He and I share many memories, although mine are as a child. Unfortunately Mum passed away in 2002.<\/p>\n

Dad is now in a Nursing Home at Greystanes, just around the corner from me so I can also help care for him.<\/p>\n

When he receives the OTVA Newsletter, I read the old memory stories that many people have supplied and although Dad’s short term memory is not so good, he remembers all the men, equipment and\u00a0technical\u00a0jargon etc that is mentioned.<\/p>\n

I am hoping that your readers\u00a0can\u00a0supply more stories from the past, especially from where he has\u00a0worked so I can continue to read to him.<\/p>\n

Thanking you<\/p>\n

Christine Murdoch (Mrs)<\/p>\n
