Yeah, he is great bloke. Some of the stories are a tough listen. Some funny ones as well though. He was pretty well respected by the bad guys too, they knew he was down the line. I remember hearing from one of the local baddies who was the older brother of one of my mates that he was picked up one night for some petty shit and when he got to the station he took off. Not out the door, but looking for the old man to arrest him instead of the ones that had him. He knew the old man wouldn't allow him to cop a flogging in the cells. I asked Dad about it and he laughed and reckoned it happened a lot. In this case the arrest had already been made, but he still made sure that there were no floggings that night.
