The biography below is written by his family, not by anyone else. Until their account is complete, each section shows the questions it needs answered — so this page serves as the gathering worksheet as well as the eventual home for the writing.

To write this section, gather
- Where and into what circumstances was he born on 4 December 1933?
- Who raised him, and what did that household value?
- What was his own schooling like, and who paid for it?
- What was happening around him — locally and nationally — as he grew up?
