| Dear Don. Memories of my Years with Mr. Cash |
From $2 download and paperback
In 1981, Don Longley died in tragic circumstances. He had been Brisbane's
biggest bookmaker in the 1950, until his passion for betting saw him in the role of punter. His bets were always made in cash,
which earned hin the name of Mr. Cash. He was known and feared by bookmakers both nationally and internationally. Don also
suffered from the bi-polar disorder known as manic-depression. This is the story of how I, his wife, learned to live
with the combined stress of his gambling life and his mental disorder. It includes many enjoyable accounts of his racing
activities. To all who knew Don, he was a most unforgettable character, warm, loving, caring, generous almost to a fault,
vulnerable, and eccentric. It is a story that needed to be written. A must for anyone who likes the occassional flutter
on the horses.
