Wayne and I sat together at ChCh South Intermediate school. We also were NZED apprentices starting in 1960. As I live in Invercargill and Wayne in Cambridge we didn´t get together often but stayed in touch electronically.

Wayne, who is going to ring the bells at St Andrew's church now. I'll always remember your famous Fiat 125. Parked outside the Whakamaru Control Centre. On the cold frosty mornings of nightshifts, you'd set an electric heater inside the car to warm it for your journey home to Mangakino. I believe the 125 became a chook house up McLaron road. Always a gentleman.
