32 years ago I had the pleasure of first meeting Joy at a genealogy conference in Wellington when we shared a room at the conference venue. Joy belonged to the New Zealand society of genealogists and was a member of the Hawkes Bay branch. I always enjoyed our chats whenever we saw each other. R I P dear Joy. I know you missed Ian deeply so you will now be in his arms. Love and condolences to the family.
