All in PEOPLE

Jim Clemow

“I’ve always been in hospitality, I was manager of the Blayney Bowling Club for 13 years, Orange City Bowling Club for 10 years and the wife and I had the Restaurant ‘Scotty’s on Summer’ for seven years, so I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of locals over time.

Hank Spirek

I was born in Chicago 72 years ago and moved to Australia 33 or 34 years ago. I've, off and on, been a professional artist for the last 52 years — whenever I could afford to be a professional artist.

Iain Jones

Prior to living in Orange I lived in Cairns for 12 months and prior to that I was in Alice Springs for seven years. The Pool Manager position brought me to Orange, it was a dream job that I had been looking at for the last couple of years.

Sopee Soo

I'm from Thailand, from Bangkok. I first came to Australia to study English when I was about 25. I was still a student studying Human Resources and I came for a summer course in the Manly area.
