Deaf Lame One Day Be Deid

By Yancy Miller

Three neighbours, who through shared interests, became friends. This is the story of one of them. Johnno from next door calls him the "Old Bloke," their friendship grew from an abiding interest in the game of cricket. Eric, from across the road, prefers to call him Kev. Through shared experiences from career parallels as journalists and oilmen and a love of the great outdoors, they became good mates. Johnno and Eric both thought it was a story worth telling, of a boy turned man, born just after the outbreak of World War Two who went on to serve his country during a different sort of conflict, the Cold War. His life experiences, the highs and lows, marriage, a family, divorce, post-military careers in the worlds of commerce, industry and the media alongside his role as a sole parent, are recounted by the people who over the years came to know him. Like the lives of all who have gone before and as it will be for those yet to be born, it is a story both individual and unique and as described by the Old Bloke himself, one he considered fortunate. "An interesting, enjoyable read" The Advocate "The recounting of a life far more interesting the most" Kit Miller, author "The narrators have mined a rich vein to tell a story both noteworthy and entertaining" The Northern Courier
