Just a funny one, [meant to be taken in humor], I remember Alison telling me once when I babysat her beautiful home while they holidayed, that back when Alison was writing a paper on LEECHES for Uni', she would place her baby on a blanket in the bush and record the leeches that where attracted to the squirming babe!
Also if anyone went to touch the foliage on one of her trees , if they were a smoker, she would slap your knuckles with the back of her hand, explaining the toxic chemicals on peoples hands that smoked were dangerous to trees. RIP Alison and Frank
