DATE: 18 May 2012
HOST: Jonathan Groubert

DESCRIPTION: AUSTRALIAN ANGEL REMEMBERED: For almost 50 years, Don Ritchie lived close to Australia’s most notorious suicide spot, known locally in Sydney as “The Gap”. He could see people when they were thinking about jumping. So he’d walk over to them, and gently invite them back to his home for a cup of tea. Don passed away this week at age 85, having saved at least 160 lives.
