As a young fellow at high school, I was good at mathematics and technical drawing together with physics and chemistry and thought my career would be in engineering.

Not understanding what civil engineering was, over two weeks I observed mainly office based work focusing on retaining walls and draining systems.

He was a heavy smoker, lack of exercise and although at the time his diet was probably considered to be healthy whereas today it wouldn’t cut it (in my eyes anyway). He had 2 brothers who consequently died of heart disease also. All three of them were in their early 60’s.
