Early Life
Harvey Shore was born on 14 February 1947 and grew up in Sydney. His father, Ray Shore (13 February 1905 – 1962), was a financial manager and his mother, Ivy Shore (nee Williams, 14 January 1915 – 25 August 1999), was a seamstress turned portrait artist – in 1979 she won the Portia Geach Memorial Award. His younger brother, Russell Shore (born 29 April 1949), later became a naval officer. In 1960 his parents separated and, after the death of Ray in 1962, Ivy lived with her former art teacher, Graeme Inson. Shore was educated at Cranbrook School and at Marist Brothers Agricultural College. In January 1965 he was offered a teacher's scholarship, but accepted one for the Royal Military College, Duntroon – in the same class as Peter Cosgrove. In 1968 Shore graduated, and upon doing so, cadets are promoted to the rank of lieutenant and receive a Diploma in Military Leadership. He served in the Australian Intelligence Corps of the Regular Army until 1972.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
