AS a young man living in southern Sydney during 1974, Peter Farthing and his family would regularly welcome a boy from the nearby Salvation Army home to lunch on Sunday afternoons. They would share lunch and watch television together. "It was an experience for him to escape the home," Farthing said. It was only decades later, as personnel officer for the Salvation Army, that the now Major Farthing began to learn just how much that boy needed to escape.
