Karl Brunner
My PhD research was supervised by the Swiss-American economist Karl Brunner. The attached photos were taken when he worked at the Swiss National Bank in Zurich in 1943. The top photo, which shows Karl Brunner with his wife Rosemarie, has been reprinted in :

Consulate of Switzerland
From 1993 to 2016, I represented Switzerland in Western Australia as Honorary Consul. The Swiss Consulate in Perth was first attached to the Consulate General in Melbourne and then in Sydney. I participated in numerous official functions and private events with the Ambassador of Switzerland, the Consul General and independently. At that time, about 4000 Swiss nationals living in WA had registered with the Swiss Consulate.
The following photos were taken in the Government House of Western Australia and the Council House of the City of Perth during visits by Ambassador Christian Mühlethaler in 2006 and 2008.
