    About this ebook

    Trevor Wrightson continues the story he began in Growing up in Berrima with this second volume of his life story.

    After marrying, he moved to the South Coast of New South Wales to start his new life, joining the Electricity Commission of New South Wales.

    Of course, his mind kept wandering back to the little town of Berrima that he had just left, the town where he grew up. But with his beautiful bride, Helen, by his side, he was energized to start a new life.

    In short order, he landed a job as an electrician at a steel works, which turned out to be a tough job. When he went to a toilet, there was a timekeeper at the entrance, timing the men as they entered and came out. Luckily, he found another job in the same field.

    Join the author as he shares his ambitions, achievements, promotions, and the many events that happened during his life, including his experience teaching electrical apprentices, high school students, and electricians.
