-
- Self-Improvement
Patty Kikos interviews Warwick Doughty about his devotion to the care of his beloved wife Annie who has dementia. “Wazza”, as he is affectionately known, enjoyed an illustrious career that included being the general manager of Luna Park in Sydney. He speaks candidly about how his generation, the baby boomers didn’t prepare men for the stress of a caring role, and how he is determined to prove them wrong.
