We had a wonderful evening at Richard and Barbara's home last April 13th as they hosted a group of us for dinner when we were on tour with Collette. As noted Richard was a wonderful source of information about NZ and his vast knowledge of his specialty in agriculture and geology Having toured both Australia and NZ this was a major highlight of our trip. Our warm thoughts and prayers to Barbara and family for a wonderful if not brief encounter with this wonderful individual

We have the fondest memories of Richard during our two visits to New Zealand to see Gareth and Di. He delighted us with his warmth and knowledge for all things New Zealand especially agriculture, geology and culture - always over a glass of wine. Thinking of Barbara at this time.
