Only met this extraordinary man twice by knowing Bernie O'Brien. Bernie lent me a copy of a book that inspired me so much. Thankyou. Joseph

I have fond memories of Joseph at the Shalimar. He was always up for a chat about his children and the Cannons (I went to school with James at Glen Waverley High). Tina, your work in the restaurant trade has continued the Cotta tradition here in Canberra.
