Family Birthdays...


Peter and his two younger grandsons Karewa and Tangaroa in Christchurch a few years ago.

Heading down to Christchurch in the morning for my birthday on Tuesday, to be with my eldest daughter and my two younger grandsons. Today is my second eldest grandson Kellie's birthday, 25th Feb. And tomorrow 26 th Feb is the memorial of my eldest brother Valdar's birthday. He died at Burnham Military Camp, outside Christchurch, in 1970. Val served for two years with the NZ Army's military police in Malaysia, then a year in Vietnam. He was just 33 years old when he died of a massive heart attack. Agent Orange and Vietnam are sadly words that unfortunately go together.
