Here   is   Steve   Roberts   standing   at   the   bottom   of   the   famous   steps in Odessa, a long way from Worcester, which   is   where   he   was   born   in   1957.   He   was   educated   in   the   Vale   of Evesham and went to teacher training college   in   Birmingham.   He   taught   in   schools   in   Brighton,   Southend and Uxbridge before a first career change,   which   took   him   through Abbey   Life Assurance,   Unisys   and Diligenta, a career in IT and ultimately a    role    as    an    IT    Project    Manager.    In    the    summer    of    2012    Steve decided to take on his second career change when   he   gave   up   the   office   job   to   become   a   freelance   writer.   He lives today in the Dorset town of Christchurch   and   has been   married   to   Val.   A   gifted   and   prolific writer and speaker on many diverse and interesting subjects. His    Talk    for    our    February    Probus    Meeting    is    entitled:    -    “When Dorset made History”. He promises us his talk   will   be   lively   and   fun!   This   is   expected   to   be   a   very   enjoyable occasion hearing something from him on 18 th February next.
