How long have you lived in Forbes? I have lived in Forbes for 49 Years.
What do you love most about Forbes? I really like the people in the Forbes community, they are friendly and welcoming.
What are your hobbies or interests? Gardening is not only a hobby but my passion, I love being outdoors enjoying the results.
How long have you been putting up a Christmas Light display? This would be the fourth year.
Why did you choose to raise money for charity and how much have you raised? The first year we raised $1000 for House With No Steps after a family member suggested it. The second year we chose CanAssist because we knew a little girl who had cancer and now my son Josh has cancer so have continued the tradition. We have raised $13,000 in the past three years from donations made by people visiting my home to look at the Christmas Display and at an Open Garden Day we have once a year.
