“Ian McCall was brought up in the old house on the corner of Staton Road and Fraser Street. He was the first Judge of the family law court. He was younger than my father Bill Jacobs and may still be alive. To us he was Uncle Ian and we loved him to come over and according to my mother "stir us up" just before bedtime!!

His mother we knew just as Mrs McCall and she had a pretty vicious sulphur crested cockatoo in a cage on the side verandah - we were well warned to keep our fingers clear.

Ian's sister was known as Bubbles McCall. I think Mrs McCall's maiden name was Wearne. Wearne House was named for the family and I understand they gave much if not all of the money to set up Wearne House. Ian McCall was a trustee for quite some time.”
