    Bob Oliphant was the boxing guy TV 1 use to have on in the late 70’s and early 80’s. He was also my teacher while I was at Glen Innes Primary. He could have been my Standard 3-4 teacher. We – our class, use to have fun with him and all the games and plays we did. We played a form of Master Mind but it was using the dictionary blah blah blah…Joe Tanner & I were usually the last ones left. Or I was the lead ‘Mummy’ in our Egyptian plays. I wonder if he ever thought I’d be on tv? No, there wasn’t a lot of need for a ‘Mummy’. Never made it to tell the truth…not saying I tried either.
    If any one knows where he is…tell him thank you for the best year of my primary school life. It sticks out fairly strongly I must say. And please tell him that I did fairly well with myself, considering where I started from.
    Regards,
    Maureen Green (nee Whitelaw)

    Looking for any information about “Jock” Richdale, a member of the NRM Franklin team of 1940. That team photo was published in the County News 200 centenary edition.
