Title: The Right Hon Towers
Died: still very much alive!!
Bio: Is famous for his handball success and for writing: 'TWO BIRDS ... ONE STONE!!', which uses the diametric opposition between Man and the snake to simultaneously disprove evolution and support the Biblical account of Adam and Eve.
It was the result of a 10 year study, having previously specialized in kinesiology and applied science.

He also published a book on economics, sociology and theology in the early 1990's, 'Australia Imploded!', boldly revealing and declaring feminism to be (and remain) the greatest legalized tool of greed of the modern world in causing the world's most challenging social and family problems and contributing heaviest to its tremendous financial woes and job losses, as well - declaring it to be one of the most counterfeit "equalities" of the entire modern era.

He attended (the current) RMIT, Bundoora, Melbourne during the early 1980's, graduating in 1986, with a degree in Applied Science - majoring in human movement and sub-majoring in mathematics, having achieved one of the highest physical education degrees during the 1980's at that institution.  He later undertook post-graduate studies in a number of quite varied fields, including accounting, sociology, education, laboratory science, recreation, locksmithing and cobblery, etc, professionally setting up multi-service businesses.  Over the decades, his fields of endeavour and experience became quite extensive due to his enormous range of talent, primarily settling on teaching and tutoring in mathematics and English.

 
In his earlier years, during the 1970's and 1980's, Denis Towers was also arguably the best rebound handballer in Australia.
In doubles, in fact, he never dropped a set, and won the Victorian state singles title the last 3 years in a row before retiring.
He also instigated, financed, promoted and presided over the Victorian Downball/Veeball Association during most of the 1980's.

 
In another most popular sport of the era, the End to End Football game [via Australian football], he remained unbeaten, capable of beating eight or even ten opponents simultaneously, during the bulk of 1960's and 1970's era - the game being a more competitive version of today's well known (but more recreational), Kick-to-kick.
 
He also invented the popular and highly infectious team game, "Grappleball" in 1999 (now renamed, "Grappaball"), built around the simple concept of 'keepings off', but with the inclusion of goals at each end and at which scoring can occur from in front or from behind goal, marked out on the ground.
  
He was also gifted musically, and composed a number of musical pieces, comprising a Christmas carol, hymn, country and western song for his step-father, and various other small piano works.


Considered by many to be a modern-day version of the classical, "Universal man" (a polymath, by another name), in 1993, he also invented a new kind of art application - 'foil art' - primarily via an engraving and calligraphic mode, using a dentist drill to create the heat necessary to apply various metallic foils to various surfaces, by entering the drill bit backwards into the jaws of the drill and taping down the foil.  He invented two new hands or font types, quickly taken up by other professional engraving and calligraphic specialists of the period.
From 1994 to 1996, he was appointed manager of Black & Decker lock servicing Dept in Melbourne, Australia.
It was also during the 1990's that he and his young family set about Melbourne and Perth giving family musical concerts, as he had some quite gifted children.
Besides other inventions, he also conceived two new methods of achieving flight, though insufficient available finance prevented any venture beyond mere concept.

He has also been a keen board game player - rarely beaten over quite some decades in both, checkers and Chinese checkers.  He also invented three board games, but never attempted publication!

In his earlier years, he grew up in East Brunswick, where he attended East Brunswisk Primary School and later, Northcote High.  He attended to spiritual matters primarily at the Brunswick Youth Centre when young, run by the Melbourne City Mission, where at the age of 17, he finally joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving two missions for the Church in his early 20's - the first building chapels and the second proselyting.
