Funny thing happened to me. In 1999, my long time friend from Uni, JP and I, were on our way home from a road trip from Melbourne. Out of the corner of his eye, JP saw a guy in a ditch, by the side of the road, crawling out. Not far behind him was his car, in the same ditch. We pulled over, and took him to the police station. We drove him all the way home to Wollongong. He gave us a copy of a book he had written on the Darwin Armed Forces.
Well JP and Ness came over for dinner Friday night. And as we usually do, JP and I told stories of the shannegans we used to get up to at Uni. And the hitchhiker story came up. (Well, he wasn’t really a hitch hiker, just a stranded driver). JP wondered if we could find our hitchhiker on Facebook.
And the short of it is that we did!!!!!!!!! Now Robert J Rayner, author of the Darwin Armed Forces is my Facebook friend. So apparently he remembers me. I’ve written on his wall, but still no words from him.
