She was a fiesty old bird. I remember her telling off Bob Hawke for some of his policies... and for not returning his cup last time he was interviewed.
I knew Dot Strong from when I'd go to work as a kid with my Dad, Peter Wilkinson, and through my teenage years with work experience and volunteering, until ABC radio moved to Ultimo. She was a huge Elvis fan, I spent many weekends recording Elvis movies for her from TV and editing out the commercial breaks on VHS. She lived right next to the ABC in Forbes Street. She always gave me an extra biscuit. Definitely loved by all staff.
