I had the privilege of getting my first job at the Adelaide News as a copy boy where I worked with Pat Oliphant for more than a year – a person one could never forget. If by an amazing chance Pat should read; this to confirm Frank Callander supervised the dog box where we resided. Murray James was chief of staff, Ron Boland editor of the Mail. Reporters included Laurie Jervis senior and junior, John Veitch, Peter Michelmore etc. I was the tallest guy in the building, a long skinny kid. I’m fairly sure Pat used a tiny penguin as his logo in those times. Left Adelaide to move west, will always remember his brilliance.
