I spent most of my life in the technical field working for Siemens in South Africa. I was the chief commissioner for the testing and handing over of automatic telephone exchanges in Natal. When I retired I formed a company and continued in a similar field installing and commissioning CCTV and Biometric systems. It was by accident that I became involved with the antique and bookselling business. I am very happy to be sharing some of these experiences on steemit.
