So many memories in my teenage years of being part of your family. Lots of music and laughter. Remember when Jenny was born Diane and I were in charge of cooking and cleaning. I thought you had finished your dinner, being super efficient i cleaned and washed your plate unfortunately you had only gone to answer the phone. Love Raewyn (Rae bob) and the May family.

Remembering a great colleague at Stanhope Road School. He was a person who had a gift with language, who wrote poetry and who played jazz.
My life was enriched by having met you, Owen.
