Roberta Bobbi Sykes RIP

I was a good friend of Bobbi Sykes from the early days of Kings Cross. I was the DJ at the Sound Lounge in 1962 until 1963. Bobbi was a humane lady. I spent 1969 in Townsville and Bobbi and her family treated me as one of them. It made army life with 2RAR a little more acceptable.
When I returned from South Africa in 1977 with my son whom I abducted from apartheid, I first went to Bobbi as she was the only one with whom I had history. Bobbi was inspirational and I will miss her. My heart goes out to Indigenous Australia and to Bobbi's family.
