Morna T Fazio 1931-1997 Robert A. Fazio 1929-2002
The decade 1950-1960 was a bumper one for Geelong. The Geelong Football Club won the Victorian Football League Premiership in 1951 and again in 1952. The local cycling hero Russell Mockridge brought home 2 Olympic gold medals from Helsinki.
Post war European migration and new industries with opportunities for employment caused the population to increase from 62,400 to 89,000. Robert and Morna Fazio were some of the professional people who “migrated” from Melbourne to Geelong, setting up a joint practice in the city. They were the first and, perhaps, are the only couple to have practiced in Geelong in a firm under their married names.
The surge of feminism where a married woman still kept her maiden name had not yet arrived. V. Hill
