Vivienne, I'm sorry I can't be with today. Lee, Paul, Arran and Justine have great memories of growing up next door with Max, Louise and Boyd. One memory is of Bryan taking all the children to pick corn....in the "corn forest"and Justine got lost...as she thought. Bryan will leave a big hole in your lives. I'll pop around and see you soon.
