General information from Jenny Holmes:
"Alfred and Eva saw an incredible number of changes in their lives. E.g. Cars, telephones, televisions, computers etc.
Eva readily embraced the new technology but Alfred was rather reluctant. He preferred the old briquette heater to the new gas one; a good walk rather than a trip in the car. He hated lifts and would choose to use stairs.
Alfred's stories of his younger days included wagging school to go swimming in the Merri Creek and scams to get into football matches for nothing. He lost the middle finger of one hand in an accident at work but in those days no workers compensation existed. He was just lucky to keep his job. He was proud of the unions fight for a 40 hour week and expounded the view of "One man, one job".
Holiday's consisted of 3 days off a year, Christmas Day, Good Friday and Butcher's Picnic."
