Program Co-ordinator – Angy Henn
I grew up in Port Adelaide in the time when Port Adelaide was a bustling place and to this date I think I had the best playground because I was surrounded by factories (in the days where you could roam around them). Although I matriculated at Taperoo High School in 1971, I didn’t start tertiary studies until the 1980’s. I majored in politics and psychology from Flinders University and in 1998/99, I studied at Ballarat University obtaining a Graduate Diploma of Occupational Hazard Management. Predominantly, my latter working career focussed on health and safety or risk management.
I have interests in many things, these include music ranging from classical and opera to heavy rock (but not country), playing bridge, fine wines, running a Lamb’s Fry Appreciation Club, entertaining, gardening (growing vegetables) and reading books (including running The Murder Mystery Book Group). However, the hobby that uses up a lot of my time is genealogy which I find both frustrating and fascinating. Currently I have my direct line ancestors going back 10 generations on my father’s side and 11 generations on my mother’s side (roughly late 1500’s). My current genealogy work is focussing on identifying the siblings of my Grandparents, Great Grandparents and Great Grandparents.
I stand by my word that “Retirement” is a full time job!
