In cinemagraphic sound he became a World renowned person but from fame and fortune he just walked away <br />And in Lismore in New South Wales in a different field completely for himself he's making a big name today <br />Garrett Vanderhope the fellow from Kallista from the high country he has travelled far <br />A genius and quietly spoken quiet achiever and in his own right quite a super star. <br /> <br />From Kallista home of the mountain ash trees the World's tallest some venture to say <br />Garrett carved out a big reputation in Hollywood and places from his Homeland far away <br />Yet he is not one who yearns for the limelight not one of those to put himself out there <br />He'd rather leave his talents do the talking for him and people like him always have been rare. <br /> <br />The one who turned his back on fame and fortune for to pursue a different sort of a career <br />Stories such as his one doesn't hear of very often though of stories such as his one always loves to hear <br />A down to earth man the limelight did not suit him there's more to life far more than wealth and fame <br />Far beyond the wooded hills where he was raised in so many would have heard of him by name. <br /> <br />His fame has spread far beyond the borders of the Dandenong Ranges but Garrett on Hollywood turned his back <br />His new life career it now will take him elsewhere to another road that leads off of another track <br />He is one who leaves his great talents speak for him and to his own self he will remain true <br />And he is one of those humble quiet achievers and quiet achievers sad to say too few.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/garrett-vanderhope/
