Gee Kate really sorry to hear about your dad. I remember his sports shop and his involvement with the Wairoa Star.
Kia kaha.

People thought I was mad at suggesting Denis play the father in our One Act Play Still Waters for the HB Drama League finals in Hastings in 1957, but he was brilliant, as I knew he would be. Very sadly missed, Denis. We had little time together, but what we had was so memorable.
