To Keith and Family,
Our thoughts are with you hearing of the passing of Marty. What a legend.
We have such fond memories of Marty as a swimming coach and especially our girls, Valerie, Stacey and Vicky, they did exceptionally well under Marty's guidance. We also appreciated her expertise when officiating at swimming meets.
Keith I am not sure how to contact you but Ad and I would love to visit you in Christchurch. Please send us a brief e-mail if you are open to this.
