Thanks for your edits there; please see this edit summary of mine. If you'd like to discuss this article further privately you can email me at. I don't know anything about the subject of the article beyond what's in the references; it's only on my watchlist to combat vandalism. Graham 87 05:10, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Also, please cite your sources whenever adding new text; see Help:Referencing for beginners for information about that. Graham 87 05:12, 21 February 2023 (UTC)


 * It goes back to December 1970 when final year Civil Engineering students, me included, attended an Engineering Dinner at Manning House, Sydney University where John O’Grady was a guest speaker. During the evening, after dinner, I had the opportunity to speak to him. It was John who mentioned to me he was a Phamacist having graduated BSc (Pharm) for Sydney University (many years before) and that Vince O’Grady was his brother. I knew of Vince (then the Highways Engineer, a senior position in the Department) because at the time I was a Trainee Engineer with the Department of Main Roads NSW and due to Graduate as a Civil Engineer from Sydney University in May 1971.  I spent the majority of my career as a Civil Engineer with the Department of Main Roads and subsequent incarnations. I still have John O’Grady’s signature, from the night, on the back of my Student Member card - Signed John O’Grady (Nino). Sadly the source is no longer with us. I hope this is sufficient.

 * Thanks, and all very interesting, but we work based on published sources (e.g. books, magazines, newspaper articles, etc.) Even if there was a published reference making the connection (e.g. one of John O'Grady's memoirs), I'd still be inclined not to add it for reasons I can't really put my finger on ... unless PJ is notable in Wikipedia terms for his engineering work (i.e. lots of independent reliable sources discussing him in that context). The relatives already mentioned in John O'grady's article before your edit could potentially have articles written about them, but I don't think this is the case for VP.
