It was the 30th anniversary of my father's death on 13 March. There aren't many photos of him that I could lay my hands on easily so I am listing one of him and my mother going out to some ball or other. Next there is a photo of me, my sisters , Helen and Mary, who died 10 years before my father at the age of 18, and my mother. On the back of this photo Mary has written "Taken when I was 14 1/4 . The night I got my first boyfriend!!". It was at a barn dance in National Park where we had a bach. All the locals were invited along with several inmates from the Rangipo Prison Farm. The following photo was taken a few years later in our family homein Jervois Rd, Herne Bay, a few months before I went off to Europe on my second OE.
