Rest in peace BB, we still miss you. We had almost 50 years of friendship having met in China years ago and we enjoyed your company and Alice´s in many parts of the world including our frequent visits to New Zealand. You were an incredible ambassador for New Zealand a country you dearly loved. " All is well and never been better " !
