Wellington at night - part 2

..

I lived here between 1967 and 1976. It would be fair to say in the
intervening years it has improved a lot although not the climate !

Dad

..
My dad died last week aged 89, we gave him a great and mainly
humorous send off , we know he would have approved.
Two hundred people came along.
Thank you for supporting me Kylie, Anatole and Steve especially. 
He was good and generous man and one whose word was his bond,  integrity was assumed.
 
 
Training as a pilot in WW2


 

Teaching me to drive in the 1950s

 
 
 
 
On a picnic with mum, a most popular family activity  
 
His last very strained words were "I have a wonderful family"
