The family has maintained a strict rule in that time.
“No talking work at the dinner table”.
Mr Cappello hadn’t planned to take over the family business.
“I moved to Sydney after school to study. I wanted to become a stock broker. But I didn’t like having to sit behind a computer all day”.
“Moving to Sydney really makes you appreciate how good the life is in Griffith”.
