Ken Judge RIP
Ken Judge, pictured with Paul Daffey, launched the 2008 Footy Almanac at Gil Fraser Reserve, home of the North Fremantle Amateur Football Club. He came immaculately dressed, as always, and very well prepared.
Ken enjoyed the function, made us laugh and kicked on with a few beers. The Almanac, he said, gave a great fans’ eye view of the season.
Noted for his beautiful kicking, he was a premiership player with East Fremantle (1979) and Hawthorn (1983), dual East Fremantle premiership coach (1992 and 1994), an assistant at Carlton for their last flag in 1995 and AFL coach with Hawthorn and West Coast.
Ken Judge died today 15 January 2016 – it was his 58th birthday.

2015 musically by Les Everett
THE year began in the country and ended with the purchase of a new sound system that has one of those streaming things to take me into a whole new world – and a turntable that has already taken me back to a much-loved old one.
Here are some highlights…

My Top, Fave … the 12 songs I got into the most of the songs I heard in 2015
