Carol-Ann was finishing her second year of school at Springwood Central State School. It was the end of year school concert. The children sang and acted out Christmas Carols. Carol-Ann held the picture of Seven Swans a swimming in one act and she was a Twinkling Star in the nativity play.

At the end of 1979 the girls were at a nice age. Sonya was going to start school in January 1980. I had been going to night classes at Griffith University, Mt Gravatt Campus to upgrade my teaching qualifications and I was hoping to get back into full time work. I had been a stay-at-home mum for seven years, which was to continue for another three years with part time work.
