Thanks Helen for being the first to let me know it worked! Glad you remember me from my radio serials on the ABC — Over the top with Jim and Spies Like Us.
Audio - loud and clear, no problems. The subject matter, interesting and, yup, brings back memories. The tennis court in the Fletcher backyard. My mother was a member of a ladies group who played on that court once a week.
My first time in an aeroplane - a DH Moth Minor, open cockpits, out of Archerfield. The question, "Where would you like to go?" to my dad, I was too small to strap in, he had to go along and hold me in his lap. "Annerley" We circled the court several times and the ladies, including mum, came out on the court to wave.
Lovely story to dd my podcast graham -- flying over the Fletcher rented house and court in a Moth Minor with the tennis players waving up. Lots of people rened the Fletcher court in those days.
And well done to you as well Graham ... as you said first -- Brisbane can't hold the Olympic Games in an old out-of-the-way stadium. i'm personally pleased that you were involved.
Yes Hugh, loud and clear. The last time I heard an audio wes 'Over the Top With Jim." I have never followed the lives of sports people, but this makes it interesting.
You're right Peter -- this isn't a sports story -- it's the story of n only child who turns out to have a peculiar ability and takes on the world and becomes a person who some wrote was"the James Bond of the tennis world".
Just what I wanted to hear -- a radio serial or podcast has to be very clear. I was once told "you have a good voice for a tap-dancer" -- I hope to prove the critic wrong.
Having known the adult Ken I could just picture him as an adorable spoilt child ! Though I never saw him lose his temper! He was such a caring softie!!
Marvellous to hear your voice. I used to hear you often on the radio. Loved the story. I could hear it fine. Kenny Fletcher must be a fun character.
Congrats on being the first to say you could hear it fine! I needed to know.
Glad you remember my ABC radio serials OTTop with Jim and Spies Like Us.

Did my solution work Charles?

It's great to see a new chapter in the "Great Fletch," giving voice to why a Park is named Ken Fletcher Park.
And it's named KEN FLETCHER PARK because of the foresight and effort of a man named Peter Rasey!

Dear Pammie, Fletch would be delighted to know that the girl he loved in the 1960s is still listening to him next Century.
And I'm happy as well.
