Known as ‘Wild West’ for his armaments after being speared in his blankets by the savages east of the Oakover River in the 1930s. His father was a successful prospector. He explored the desert on camels and found many mineral deposits that in recent times made major companies exceedingly wealthy. Later he created an engineering company that produced electric water heaters. He was a friend of the second author’s father. [BIO] [MIN] [CEN] [CAN] [PAS]
