I have Murray Olds to thank for special memories in my broadcasting and journalism career including the wonderful people that I had the opportunity to work with.
In addition to the honour of being part of the 2UE News team in 1991, was the time I got to share with the Great Man, John Laws!
It began making a cuppa with John and the subsequent chats we would have – wow, I still feel humbled by the time I had with him to talk about Newcastle radio and our breakfast legend, Pat Barton, who I also worked with.
John, congratulations on your latest milestone and catch you on air via 2HD when the opportunity allows!
Kind regards
