SPOTLIGHT ON JOHN WARING

 We  all know John and Karen from their tireless work for Rock n Roll in Newcastle,  but did you know they have been married for 34 years? They met in Parkes when
John was a bank employee there – John was smitten and the rest is history! His  school boy days were spent playing sport, chasing girls and getting into
trouble, so not much has changed, except he has caught the girl he wanted so  chasing girls, is off the activities list. 
  Believe it or not, John has other interests –  surfing, playing and singing with the Ukastle Ukulele group while Karen likes  kayaking, bike riding and is learning to speak Italian. 
  John also like to chill out in the 1967  Mustang (with Karen) and occasionally when music  and dancing is not on the agenda he  gets in some reading, Australian literature and autobiographies are on Johns  list. 
  The tough question “if you had one wish what  would it be was asked of course, and it would not surprise any of us to hear the  response: “world peace would be up there....let’s all get along!” 
   John’s overall philosophy on life: “We’re here  for a good time, not a long time. No use lying back and staring at a coffin lid  full of regrets”. 

Thank  you John.
