Our guest today is a man with deep local connections and commitment to the Manning Valley, and who has literally left his mark!
He’s the man who first installed the Christmas lights on the pine tree at the Manning Base Hospital.
John Ritchie grew up here on the Manning, and he’ll be recounting his early days of life in Taree, where there were not only weekly dances, but also shotguns on the street!
John recount his early days, career opportunities and of course climbing to the top of that tree at the hospital!
