A salute to Vito Comar, my uni days and life since.

Looking back from my uni days Like most students I met lots of people at university and made many friends, none closer that Vito Comar perhaps the most amazing person I’ve ever met, and I’ve had the good fortune of meeting some amazing people. Of course I also met the Comar family including Marina who Robyn Kerr tells me is an old friend. No account of my student days could be complete without my close friendship with Vito. We spent countless hours together, lived in at least 3 shared houses over the years including in Perth,   Sydney, Canberra and Brazil, and we even worked together in Sydney as security in Sydney’s largest building of that time, North Point which was still going up even though the bottom 3-4 storeys were shopping malls. Five of us made up the crew: Robert Bruning, actor and film producer, (check him out on the IMDB or Google him) someone who sang in the Australian Opera, another award-winning architect and academic Bill Lucas, also on Wikipedia, Vito and yours tr
