Latvians, together with Estonians and Lithuanians, were the first ethnic groups in the large postwar immigration wave of “displaced persons” from Europe that started in 1947. It has been estimated that some 17,000 persons born in Latvia, and a further 2,500 persons born elsewhere but of Latvian origin, settled in Australia between 1947 and 1952. Including prewar settlers, by 1952 about 20,000 Latvians were living in Australia. Queensland was a less popular destination than the southern states because many feared its hot and humid climate. Probably about 1,500 people of Latvian origin came to Queensland, though a figure of 2,000 has also been mentioned. They started to arrive in 1948 and settled mostly in or near Brisbane, but in smaller numbers also in Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and Mount Isa. The early years were primarily spent in establishing a new life, attaining economic security and buying or building a home. Many had to study, while holding down other jobs, to have their previous qualifications recognised or re-established. Parents had learnt that education was the only thing of value that could be carried by a refugee or migrant. Children were therefore encouraged and assisted to obtain a good education, preferably at the tertiary level and leading to a professional qualification. Despite coming to Australia without capital and belongings, Latvians quickly and successfully adapted to life in Queensland and became reasonably secure economically.

On the right is John Glenn.

John Glenn is the only astronaut to fly in both the Mercury and Space Shuttle spacecraft. Before he became an astronaut, on July 16, 1957, Glenn completed the first supersonic transcontinental flight. He is one of 3 astronauts elected to Congress, along with Jack Schmitt (Apollo 17) and Jack Swigert (Apollo 13) (tragically, Swigert died of cancer after the election but before the beginning of his Congressional term).

The Human is a Man but the Dog is NOT a Schnauzer... Try instead Terrier.

Known to be highly intelligent, strong-willed and high-spirited, the standard schnauzer is easily trained and loyal. Their intelligence can be a blessing or curse in disguise. Source: www.hillspet.com/dog-care/dog-breeds/standard-schnauzer

Vesna Verencevic . as suggested earlier, the dog is not schnauzer, of any size, not even 74 years ago

Giant_Schnauzer ok thank you for noticing, I will enter Terrier info. Cheers

Terriers The Terrier group consists of both big and small dogs, but members of this group more than any other share a common ancestry and similar behavioral traits. Terriers were bred to rid barns and stables of vermin, to dig out unwanted burrowing rodents, and to make themselves generally useful around the stable. Terriers were used in the “poor man’s recreation” of rat killing, especially in England where most of these breeds originated. Upper classes used terriers in foxhunting. They also were bred to fight each other in pits—hence the name pit bulls. During the late 1900s, dogfighting was outlawed in most states and countries of the Western world, and these dogs were thereafter bred for a friendly temperament rather than for aggressiveness.
