Dear Helen and family (Digby).
Millie was a Brown Coat (supervisor) when I first started. Such a great and fun guy to be around. Always quick with a joke and a laugh and he gave those cigars a hard time.
Very sad to hear that he's traveled for the last time on the baggage conveyor belt of life - he made a few trips on the old Air NZ check-in baggage belt much to the surprise of the loaders. Rest easy Millie.
Kind regards Woggle (Andrew Nicholas).
