Those times you approach people for their story, when they’ve been through the most terrible time of their lives. I’d love it if every story was just the opposite. And mostly they are on 60 Minutes. This week I’ve finished writing stories on adorable animals, a very successful businessman, a surprising health advance, and a man who risked his life in a war. But last week, my focus was on the Keep family who lost their 2 year old daughter, and both her Grandmothers, when their house literally was ripped open in the Grantham flood. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Michael Usher) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/grantham-story-was-definitely-no-ambush/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/grantham-story-was-definitely-no-ambush/#item5134 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 19:55:48 +0000 Michael Usher | Author bios | The Punch
