Bob went back to Nelson in about 1968 (on his scooter)
Steve - clear memory of Bob heading off on scooter, laden with possessions on the back, spending first night in Wairoa
Talking to Bernard one day (at N E M)
He worked at the Nelson Evening Mail
While he was away, Olive nearly drowned while we were all swimming in the creek
We didn't go because we couldn't sell the house and Olive near drowning prompted return.
Luckily he got job back at Gisborne Herald - it suited the Editor - Bob became the new Farming Reporter - needed car so Herald bought car (Daimler) and deducted money from wages
Rob Bailey went along to look at car. Was owned by farmer who lived next door to Hangaroa School
Car arrived on Kerrian's 8th Birthday (Fact Check)
Details for Bob to fill in . . .
- exact date
- The trip down
- where you stayed (with Nana ??)
- some of the stories you wrote for the paper
- what it was like meeting all the old friends
