About the authorRobert was called to the Priesthood at 16 and was guided towards Ordination by local priests. After school he worked in the Briton Ferry Steel Works in South Wales, part of the Dupont Group. He later studied at St. John's College, mid Wales and then St. Michael's College Llandaff, Cardiff.
