                                        GUEST SPEAKER THIS WEEK.
Greg Fitzgerald- Man Behind the Badge.
Greg spoke about how he was traveling when he was younger and sat on the plain on his way back next to his future wife, they both lived in the same street and same number, but different suburbs, Greg thought at the start that Wonda might of seen were he lived on his baggage, very funny situation.
Greg then went onto do more traveling, and asked Wonda to marry him over the phone, very romantic, Wonda then jumped onto a plain to meet Greg in Greece.
Greg was born at Coburg Hospital and later went to Coburg Tech, which is not there anymore, he then went on to move down to the Peninsula with his parents and later started a family with 3 children, he worked at Lysarts in Hastings and other places and then he started a business in Hastings doing engineering, and still has an interest in this today.
Greg and Wonda have travelled extensively to different parts of the would, some of which you wouldn’t go to at the moment with all the conflict going on, it was a very good talk with a lot of humour added.
