Episode 3: "Thursdays"

Lucy Halloran has been keeping a secret, and for once it isn't the sad kind.

Three Thursdays now. A locked bookshop on Darby Street, the blinds down, and a man teaching her to stop apologising for her best sentences. She hasn't told Ada. She hasn't told her daughter. She has barely let herself believe it. But Newcastle is a small town dressed up as a city, and someone has just walked through the door with a question Lucy isn't ready to answer. Some rules were made to keep the good part just a little longer. Lucy is about to learn what it costs to break one.

What happens when an extraordinary life story is almost lost to time?

Wing Commander Richard MacNeil joins Cheralyn Darcey to talk about his father's remarkable memoir, Before I Forget, a deeply personal account of more than three decades in the Royal Australian Air Force. From Cold War patrols and maritime surveillance to family life behind the uniform, the book offers a rare glimpse into a fascinating chapter of Australian military history.

Richard shares why it became so important to preserve his father's memories, the stories that surprised him most, and why recording the lives of our parents and grandparents is one of the greatest gifts we can leave future generations.

It's a conversation about service, sacrifice, family, and the power of remembering before it's too late
