To family and friends, he is Grant but over the past 40 years he has been known simply as John or John the Highway Man.
Last week, my good friend Jenn Graham found John between Caragabal and Grenfell and enjoyed a wonderful chat with him and of course snapped some great photos.
This is Jenn’s story:
When John Cadoret was 22 and-a-bit, he was doing what his parents and his friends and society in general expected him to do. He was gainfully employed in a bank.
