Uncle Robbie, memories I treasure / stories to tell - just one - Robbie's trip to Mangonui (mid 1970's) in Holden Statesman V8 - all good, but roared out of there like Paris to Dakar Rally (or maybe thought he was at Bathurst?) This man was a "legend" - may he be at peace (fishing in heaven) xxx

I remember the pheasant he use to bring down for us and the day we all rolled the piano up the hill and getting it down those steep steps into your house - yes truly good memories. Jo Balsom (Flamank)
