People You Should Know: Don Ritchie, OAM

Lovely story about a true warrior:

"In those bleak moments when the lost souls stood atop the cliff, wondering whether to jump, the sound of the wind and the waves was broken by a soft voice. "Why don't you come and have a cup of tea?" the stranger would ask. And when they turned to him, his smile was often their salvation.

The Primal Heroic Response, in action.
