In this podcast Merv, in conversation with Lisa Rickert,  recalls the beginnings of the TAB and the trouble getting reception to hear the races! He describes the beginnings of Kumarina roadhouse - and the Capricorn roadhouse. He remembers the various places he lived in - the SMQ, Trotman Ave, Rudall Ave and all the "top brass" that lived in Giles Ave. He talks about the teachers who taught his children, both at the Kindergarten and Newman Primary, and his involvement with the grading of the grounds near the school. His ex-wife, Teresa, was named as Australian of the Year for her fund raising efforts with Newman Primary.
