Last weekend, I was brought crashing back to earth after a humbling experience at Amelia Pivotto’s trivia night on Friday.
At first, it was all going so swimmingly—a perfect night under the stars, replete with vibrant chatter and laughter as the questions came thick and fast. Our team was doing… fine. Not topping the leaderboard, but not embarrassing ourselves either.
Then a particular question came up. Something along the lines of, “what is the name of the Burdekin journalism legend—a local cornerstone and the embodiment of community spirit?”
My ears pricked up. Could that be me? I was flattered. I thought to myself, “wow… I’m glad I’ve had such a grand impact on this community after just a matter of months.”
With confidence, I started spelling out my surname to our team scribe, with little doubt I was the answer. I mean, who else could it be?
Turns out, it was David Jackson—the same David Jackson I wrote an entire feature about just two weeks ago. Might need to pay Dr. Tata a visit for apparent short-term memory problems.
I suppose I’ve got a few decades—and a few thousand articles—to go before I can even begin to scratch the surface of what ‘Jacko’ has done for this community.
