Our paths have not crossed for many seasons,but Neil and I go back some 64 years.I have fond memories of beach trips to Oakura (New Plymouth)with Neil and his family.Our younger years saw us getting into our fair share of harmless trouble ,it was always Neil who dared we do this or that and I always seemed to be the one who got caught.Good on you Neil.
Neil was to be my best man back in the day but the navy was on manouvres 'up top' (Asia) and needed him more.

My thoughts go out to Barbara,Arthur and Irene and families.
