Roger S. Trevor
Roger was born in Adelaide, South Australia in 1935, but at 15, his family moved to the Eyre Peninsula town of Port Lincoln, where he lived for most of his life, returning to Adelaide in the 1980‘s as the State’s Program Director for Australia‘s bicentennial celebrations in 1988.
During his years in Port Lincoln, Roger became involved in everything active, from tennis and yachting, orienteering and going away snow skiing, to arts and amateur acting, but his forte was in planning and organising visits of celebrities, VIP’s and Naval vessels from around the world, as well as chairing a number of local organisations.
This expertise brought him back to Adelaide and the Bicentenary planning, but his love of the English language and of the value of putting it down on paper no doubt prompted him to report these events and the many other documents required by his Council in great detail and probably gave him the initial motivation to keep a meticulous diary of his Santa experience. He is continuing that pleasure by writing of a fascinating life of unique activities and encounters, which he says have far from finished. He hopes he’ll stop long enough to complete his autobiography, before it’s too late.
Roger married in 1961 and acknowledges his wife Patsy’s motivating presence and that of his two daughters, Roxanne and Angela, both of whom live within 20 minutes from his retirement home at Marino, on Adelaide’s southern suburb coastline.visualizza meno
