Two artefacts were given to me and I have them to this day. Both were unexpected.

The first was a lucky door being a lucky door prize I won when Principal at Karama School. It always reminds me of the four happy years I spent at that school.

The second was created by our maintenance officer at Leanyer School at a time when I was stressed. A day or two later, on my desk, I found a plaque with a hinge mounted on its surface. Engraved on the plaque were four words, “ Henry, don’t be unhinged”.

I have kept these objects and the memories they have evoked to this day.
