Allan Krosch has led an interesting life, and collected colourful stories of people, places, historical events and memorable facts that he shares with ease in conversation and in the pages of this book. Now in retirement from his career as a civil engineer, he gives us access to some of the people he met, the changes he has witnessed in his life and work, and the wisdom he has gathered as an observer and a leader of people. In 'Little Things That Stick in the Mind - Some Stories from my Life Experiences', we read about his early life on a small-crop farm in a part of Brisbane that was reclaimed to build the Brisbane airport. We are also present at family and social events, overseas work travel, and we witness some of the mischief he instigated, as well as the near-misses he luckily avoided. Allan spent his career at the Department of Main Roads (later Transport and Main Roads) working, as he likes to say, 'For the good of the people of Queensland!' In addition to his Engineering qualifications, Allan has degrees in Economics and in Business Administration. In this book, Allan has endeavoured to share some stories from his life experiences - stories based on little things that have stuck in his mind. Apart from family, and especially grandchildren, Allan's interests include managing family investments, playing golf, and singing in a choir. His primary motivator is solving challenges. These include cryptic crosswords, sudoku puzzles and home maintenance issues. The latter do arise from time to time for someone who has lived for 45 years (with his wife of now 51 years) in the same house - which was built in 1910. But that is another story.
