Canberra businessman Terry Snow has announced his retirement at the age of 80, bringing to end a dynamic chapter in the history of the national capital, one which started with a humble general store run by his grandfather and continued with a now multibillion-dollar business that stretches across aviation, property and philanthropy.
"I am filled with immense pride and satisfaction," Mr Snow said, looking back on his achievements, starting 50 years ago but galvanising with the bold move to purchase the Canberra airport 26 years ago.
