A little bit of nostalgia for the family of Ralph Edmund Shearer, born 9 June 1917 to celebrate a century since his birth. What a life he led! A time of great change in the world, Ralph experienced the Great Depression, a world war, a shift to globalisation and the demise of great fishing in the mighty Murray. With Janice, he raised five children and influenced the childhood of 15 grandchildren - he was their Gramps and champion to them all. See images of his life and read anecdotes from his number 1 daughter, Norma.
