Rob, Alice, Hazel And Leo In 100 Words Each Meades Family

This page last updated: 9 July 2008

Rob Rob is a Welsh electronic engineer with no out-of-control beard (anymore).

Interests include science fiction, beer, family stuff, moths, marine aquariums, bearded dragons (and therefore locusts).  Work is basically a hobby.

Following an eight year engagement he and Alice were married in glorious Hawaii on 25 November 95.

He has worked for large British, Japanese and American firms, but most enjoyable was the 10 years spent at TTPCom (the world's leading supplier of cellular modem technology) until the Americans bought it and broke it up.

He's now started up a small business with a band of guys who simply don't want to be under the direct control of others any more.

Alice Alice was born in Sheffield and went to University in Birmingham where she met Rob.

After graduating, she worked with computers in London; first for the CEGB cum National Power, then for a firm of solicitors.

Her current job is as housewife and mother. She has found the hours are longer but it's a lot more fun. Hazel and Leo are much more responsive and generally less frustrating than PCs.

Alice spends most of her free time working for the PTA at Hazel's school, but she still enjoys gardening and reading science fiction & fantasy when she has the time.
