Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Engineer: At Home and Abroad These Sketches show what varieties and casualties happen in almost every one's life and experience. They pass over a life of more than fifty years, and the memory has been assisted by notes taken at the time the several occurrences happened. Patience and forbearance of the reader is asked for, rather than severe criticism on account of my inexperience as a writer. I have done my best.

Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Municipal Engineer A friend of mine, an engineer, told me that on his 21st birthday, his father, to whom he had been articled, took him into partnership. A few months later his father died, and, as is usual with engineers, there were one or two unsettled legal actions pending in which his father had been engaged as an expert witness. My friend had to give this evidence, and in his first case, under cross-examination he repeatedly said, "I was told this," "I am told that," until Counsel reproved him and said, "You must not say what you have been told, but what you know." At last the Judge intervened and said, "Mr. Blank, you must not say what you were told, but what you know as a fact." A little later, Counsel getting somewhat angry, said rather sharply, "How old are you, Mr. Blank?" Whereupon my friend replied, "I don't know." "Don't know your age, sir, what do you mean?" My friend promptly replied, "I am told I am twenty-one," and the laughter in Court smoothed matters over for the rest of his cross-examination. Thus I, in commencing these reminiscences, cannot say from memory of the occasion that I was born on January 15, 1846, but merely that I have been told so. There is, however, some documentary evidence of the fact contained in the certificate of my birth, a copy of which is in my possession, and also a reference to the event in The Times of January 19, 1846, which is as follows: - "On the 15th inst., the Lady of William Boulnois, Esquire, Abbey Road, St. John's Wood, of a son." This was the stilted language of those days, and I must conclude that the announcement referred to me and to no one else.

Book Description
Andrew Patterson looks back at his life growing up in suburban Brisbane and his career as a civil engineer in this memoir. Born during World War II, he grew up in a rented house in Doomben a short distance from the southern end of Brisbane’s main Eagle Farm Aerodrome—not a particularly safe place to live during wartime. Many family members and friends used their home as a staging post on their way north to war. His family life was sometimes odd, with his father always urging him to do well in school—or else he would turn him and his brother, Gavin, into “bloody little Bank Johnnies.” He said it in such a disparaging way that it sounded like this would be the worst punishment they could possibly suffer. He also recalls his array of experiences as a civil engineer working in Queensland and other projects throughout the world. Join the author as he shares a firsthand account of growing up in Queensland, his passion for sailing and flying, and his fascinating life as an engineer.
