The conversion of old photos to digital continues and this guy Jack Welsh who is Debbie's grandfather is a bit of a character. He had time for a lot of stuff but it seems his family was not part of his interests. He worked his way through shearing sheep, waterside worker and on up to Secretary of the Milk Distributors Association. He travelled the world studying milk issues but before that had time to become the state light weight boxing champ three years in a row. As well as a football career where he captain coached Geelong West to four premierships and then played at North Melbourne for 2 years in 12 games kicking 2 goals and wore number 27.
