Letter of Introduction.

Hello

I am Barry Roy Turnbull - Burchmore, 50 years of age.

Born in Winchester England, and immigrating to Australia with my parents in 1963,

I have served with the Australian Army, and the Australian Army Reserve, firstly serving as an Infantryman with the Royal Victorian Regiment and the Melbourne University Regiment, completing my service with the full time Australian army with the 2n/14th Light Horse QMI, and the 3rd/4th Cavalry Regiment as a Signalman/Driver and then as a Storeman Tech in the Royal Australian Armoured Corps and on voluntary discharge I held the rank of Corporal.

Returning to study in 2000 as a mature age student I undertook and completed the University Degree of Communication Design, and the Graduate Diploma of Research Methodologies with James Cook University, and hope in the future to undertake further Post Graduate studies.

My wife and I are currently living in the United Kingdom.

Yours
Barry Roy Turnbull-Burchmore

To whom it may concern,

I have known Barry for many years both as one of my students, and as a colleague. He is an extremely honest, hardworking and extremely pleasant to work with even in times of enormous workload.

He received excellent student feedback for his teaching in the Bachelor of Communication Design - his amiable manner was appreciated by all.
He is also a very hard worker and is always open to new ideas. This may sound like am over-extolling his virtues, but I guarantee they are true.
If there were any weaknesses, perhaps too harsh a word, is that he sometimes takes too much on when asked by staff, and while he can easily cope, he may put his own life on hold.

I wish him the absolute best for anything he may be striving for.
Please email me if additional information is required.
