PETER HUEPPAUFF
Peter Hueppauff
Peter Hueppauff (B.Eng (1966), M Eng.Sc.) was born in Katanning. After spending eight years working on a farm, he decided to become a mechanical draftsman. Before he reached that goal, he was encouraged to matriculate and obtain a Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Western Australia (UWA), the perfect degree for an ex farmer who had to fix things with a pair of pliers and fencing wire.
After graduating, Peter stayed on to commence a M.Eng.Sc degree. Before completing his Masters, he spent one year working with CSBP and Farmers during the commissioning of their superphosphate works at Kwinana. Upon completion of his second degree, he gained employment in the Department of Mechanical (and Materials) Engineering where he remained until his retirement at the end of the second millennium, ie the end of 2000.
For the best part of two years, he toured Australia and then returned to UWA, not to study, but to sing in the UWA Choral Society. He continued singing with them for about eight years.
Peter is happily married with two sons and five grandchildren. He still enjoys drafting, but also works on bobbin lace patterns which are worked by his wife and sometimes published in international magazines.
