Peter Schmidt Memoirs: I see skies of blue and clouds of white...and Red roses too (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780645058710)

In these memoirs, Peter Schmidt reveals an adventurous spirit both in his travels and in his career. That spirit took him to North America in the early days of computer use in business (the 1960s).

This experience led to a unique opportunity as one of the developers of Australia's first university degree course in Computing. Later, as computers began to invade the 'Executive Suite', at Mt Eliza he led a project focused on managing the attitude changes and skills development of practising managers necessary for them to transition to the internet age.

Following inter-government agency work with the Commonwealth Secretariat, Australian Aid and the Asia Pacific Development Center, he represented several major Australian universities in the development of the international student market. His work in the last 25 years is exclusively with international students.

Work and leisure have taken him north of the Arctic and south of the Antarctic Circle, and even to straddle the Equator in South America.

In this memoir Peter also shares family stories and some interesting snippets (vignettes) relating encounters experienced along the way.
