A few weeks ago while searching online for references to my father, John Leslie Fitzmaurice Creighton, I came across a new website. It celebrates the 75th anniversary of the opening of Radio Station 2AD on February 5, 1936 in Armidale in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.
My father was the first manager of 2AD. I already knew this of course, having been brought up on the radio tales he broadcast in Armidale where he met my mother Jean Cordingley of Mihi during those days many years before my birth in 1951. However I did not know the exact date of the launch.
How strange it is that I had begun compiling these Chronicles on the very day of this 75th anniversary. I had launched this blog and had written the introductory page about The Creighton Chronicles on February 5, 2011.
