January 2018: Mum (Norma Aitken) at Alton Lodge, Nursing Home, Cooranbong in January 2018. Mum with Gerald Aitken … Mum’s second son) and Helene his wife and Ken Aitken (Mum’s first son) Harriet his wife.
We all grew up at Wilson’s Creek in the 1950’s ánd 1960’s. See the post:

For me, it is a unique time that was very foundational from a personality and character point of view. It is very much my account and my three brothers would have very different memories and would have had different focuses.
