Notes
a. Note:   Fred or Freddy as his cousins would call him, grew up in Salibury, Queensland, Australia. He was raised by his Aunt Glad and lived with his Grandparents, his Uncle Bob, his father Bill, and his Aunts Glad and Muriel in his grandfather's house "Bellissima".
  In 1942 Fred, a BGS "Old Boy" - i.e. alumnus of the Brisbane Grammar School, graduated from the Naval College in Southampton, England. He served in the British Navy and Merchant Marines during World War II in the Atlantic, Italian and Burma theaters. He was a navigator aboard the Silverlaurel until it was torpedoed off Falmouth (Fred was not aboard at the time being laid up in Italy with Dysentry; he lost all his personal effects). He was then reassigned to the Silverwalnut on which he served after the war. Fred's name is listed on the honour board at the Brisbane Grammar School for old boys who served in war in the armed services or the merchant navy.
  After WWII he sailed on the Queen Elizabeth from London to the United States to join his ship the Silverwalnut. While enroute he met Valerie Hyslop who was coming to the US with her mother to visit her sister since their home had been destroyed by the German bombing of London. It was love at first sight. Fred resolved to leave the merchant marines and live in the US so that he could court and marry Valerie - which he did.
  In 1955 he obtained his law degree from the Golden Gate School of Law in San Francisco and was admitted to practice in 1956. From 1956 to 1960 he worked for P&I Underwriters for the Ship Owners Claims Bureau in San Francisco specializing in Admiralty law. From 1960 until 1966 Fred ran a sole practice of general law in San Francisco. He left private practice in 1966 and joined the California Office of Alcoholic Beverage Control in 1966 and served a prosecutor until 1971 when he was appointed a referee with the Worker Compensation Appeals Board. As a referee he worked in both the Stockton and Sacramento offices. From 1977 to 1982 he was Assistant Chief of the Divison of Industrial Accidents. In 1982 Fred was appointed Presiding Judge of the Sacramento Office of the Workers Compensation Appeals board, a position he held until his retirement in 1994. On retirement the California State Legislature adopted a resolution honoring him for his distinguished career in state service.
