The Father Bob Show #59 - “Give Peace a Chance”
Bob reminisces today over his family photo album, the tragic deaths of Stephanie Gestier and Jodie Gater in Dandenong Ranges National Park last week, reviews the performance of “Keating” and discusses getting old and climbing steep stairs.
He wants to know - do you print out photos and look at them in albums, or just digitally. If you are a MySpace user, do you use technology to escape, and how would you handle the type of situation Jodie and Stephanie got in to?

I look at photos only on my PC! Physical albums are terrible. I also have my digital photo album running as the screen saver on the big TV in the living room, so there is a constant slide show of the family there which is nice.
Regarding Jodie and Stephanie, I wonder how we connect with kids that age and let them know that they aren’t alone. That many of us feel depressed, hopeless and suicidal at various times in our lives but that it passes (kind of) and you can still find purpose.

Dear Bob and Michaela, I was asked last year what type of Catholic I am, and I answered “a Father Bob Maguire type”. I could have equally answered “a Paul Keating type”. In the end he was standing up for reconciliation and a republic, the capacity to trust ourselves as a nation and to beware the punishers and straighteners.
Micheala, if you want to get a contemporary snapshot of Keating, you can do no better than listen to his 3 minute interview on The World Today (ABC radio, last Tues, 1 May) where he nails the IR issues in about 2 sentences with all the style for which he is famous.
Great show as always.
Andy
