“Rod arrived at 10.05 a.m. and called me around 10.30 a.m. from his car.” He expressed his eagerness to share a beer with me. Then, not long after, Dave (one of the event’s organizers) called me from the car and told me what had happened.
“… doctor said he would not have made it if they (organizers John Glanville and David Hillier.) Had waited for an ambulance.” “A 74-year-old male presented to Bundaberg Hospital with cardiac symptoms. And is currently in critical condition,” a spokesperson for the Wide Bay Hospital and Health Service said.
