Take 10

With Cornerstone Contact Centre co-ordinator Don Cameron

What is something people don’t know about you?
I’m a terrible cook who never cooks at Cornerstone, but people often thank me for the meal.

What has been the most memorable moment of your life?
Becoming a Christian in 1991.

If you had to choose, what would your last meal be?
Tuna bake from the Cornerstone kitchen.

If you could witness any event, past, present or future event, what would it be?
Seeing the eight aboriginal chiefs hand John Batman eight handfuls of dirt to seal the treaty of Melbourne.

What is your favourite television show?
Football or cricket. I can’t wait for the AFL season to start.

What is your favourite book?
The Bible. I read it cover to cover, year after year.

You are hosting a dinner party and can invite six guests, dead or alive. Who would they be?
Probably my loved ones who have passed away – my mother, grandparents etcetera.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?
Climbing up to the rafters at Cornerstone to connect a light and telling the people giving advice below that I wasn’t an idiot… then smashing the light half a second later with the crowd looking on. Everyone laughed except me.

If you could live in a particular era, which would you choose?
Today. I am a product of modern Dandenong and I wouldn’t live any other time or place. I love our city.

What was the first or best concert you have ever attended?
The first was in 1987 – Arnie Deltoid and the Tasteless Muscle Beach Crew supporting Painters and Dockers at the Mentone Hotel.
