Good Bastards Hall of Fame

Roo & Marge Curtin

Not many people know that Roo’s real name is Pat. Good name that. Roo and Marge have always been Good Bastards and have been to every Good Bastard event that ever happened.

I first met Roo when he was an apprentice builder in Hari Hari and I was working in sawmills. He not only learnt how to build bridges and houses, he also learnt how to drink the odd beer. Well they were all a bit odd in those days, as Good Bastards Beer hadn’t been invented. The Fords beer was very good as was the Tira.

Something about Roo and Marge, that every bastard knows, they don’t seem to get any older. Vern, Roo’s Dad, has the same problem.

By all accounts Roo will still have to pull his drives license out to get a drink until he is sixty or more.

They are a quiet couple, going about their business in an unassuming way, If you’re ever in need of a hand, Roo and Marge are among the first to be there.
