Talk:Frank Palmos

[Untitled] (pre July 2024)
Is Frank still alive? A few years ago, his widow contacted me by e-mail.

Logie award
Which year and category did he win a logie award? I can find no sources to confirm this. I went through every year listed here and couldn't find him anywhere on the list. No, you didn't search well. It was in TV Week. How long are young going to leave mistakes up on this page? You didn't try very hard! It was Best Current Affairs 1974. The program listed its reporting team after every program aired. In those early days the program was awarded to the reporting team contributing a submission of 5 film/reports. The reporter who contributed the most (Palmos 3.5) took home the award on behalf of the entire team, which was duly listed on Wikipedia.


 * Hi There, thank you for your discussion.
 * Frank was part of the channel 9 team that won the 1974 Logie for Best Current Affairs covering Cyclone Tracy. The Logie with his name on it is siting proudly in our living room. Lachy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lachlan Palmos (talk • contribs) 02:27, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the informaltion. Is there any documentation of this that we can reference?  Yes, view the original films on archives.-- Whpq (talk) 11:51, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I imagine there is but I'm out of town at the moment and will search for some shortly —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lachy Palmos (talk • contribs) 14:11, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

 * This is completely incorrect, i am friends with the family and have all of them on social media as well. He's still going strong in WA with family. As additional evidence, he was recently featured on an ABC Conversations broadcast on 11 July 2023. https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/frank-palmos-indonesia-vietnam-war-living-dangerously/102508574 27.96.192.15 (talk) 23:53, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
