Where are they now?

If you know where any of these people are now, please let us know.

And if you're looking for a long lost mate, send us your "where are they now" photos along with a few words. Perhaps we can help find him/her.

4 little angels!!!Jim Cameron, "Blue" Silk, "Dollar" Geary, and Pete DeJonge. Not a radio bloke among ‘em, but damn good blokes, and real good mates to a lot of people. We know where one of the quartet is (g’day Pete), does anyone know where the others are??

John "Porky" Donohue (Inst), Bill "Goat" Lewis (Elec), Ron (Sumpy), Col "Nuddy" Knudson (Framie), and John "Nerk" Broughton (Radio), an ever vigilant Duty Crew if ever we’ve seen one, "hard at it" at a bar-b-q in North Richmond in about 1968. Last we heard, Porky was living in Brisbane, Nuddy was up Hervey Bay way, and Nerk was in Newcastle.

Does anyone know where the Goat ended up, and unfortunately, at time of printing we couldn’t remember Ron’s surname-though someone will, and hopefully they’ll let us know.

This very interesting photo was sent to us by Don Cureton who now lives in Brisbane and says: "I was searching through my archives and came across this photo which was taken at Appy Sqn during one of those social occasions Allan George mentioned last edition. (We bet the teachers never got to see this one-tb) I was on 21 Appy and took the photo early in 1968. I’m having trouble identifying the bloke starring centre stage, but I reckon it’s Dick Naylor (with hair), but he denies it, and reckons it’s Tom Richards."

Don suggests we run the photo and see who owns up. He also suggests that if no-one volunteers we could hold a competition and the winner would be nominated as the lucky bloke in the pic.

(We reckon we should hold a competition and make the prize for the winner a complete copy of the photo. We’ve had to whack a chunk off the bottom-just to protect the kiddies-you know how it is!!). Does anyone know any of the faces-the one to the left in the white shirt looks a little familiar.

"People will accept your idea much more readily if you tell them someone else thought of it first."

A polar bear walks into a bar. The barman says:-

"What’ll it be mate?".
"I’ll have um ah ah ah ah um ah ah-a beer" says the polar bear.
"Why the big pause?" says the barman. "I don’t know" says the polar bear "they’ve always been like that"

Sorry........again!
