Today we had the great pleasure of chatting to Ruby and Percy Pyne who Keith and I met in Apollo Bay in the 1970s. Percy celebrates his 94th Birthday this weekend and he and Ruby had some great stories to share.

If you want to catch the full interview go to 947thepulse.com and Browse to Local Legends Radio Show and today's date.
This chat provided a load of laughs and we learned a lot.
