You are very welcome - the others did the hard yards, you should have seen some of the amazing house plans Alan found!

Admittedly I was the one 'ooooh-ing' and ahhh-ing' when I found a certificate - and in one case a photo!

Thanks to Janette and her lovely husband for taking me with them.  I had a great time and learned a lot.

Those pics are wonderful Alan, do you have a particular interest in the school?

[percy porter]

yes, it's part of my web site a project permanently "Work In Progress"
www.te-kopuru.co.nz. That was the main reason for my trip to archives, still got a lot of files to go through though, just ran out of time.

Yours was a bit of a bonus Leandra, not many probates give ages of children

I am still having visions of Kiwigirl staring at us with hands on hips

Hi KHP,

I am very very grateful.

Alan,

That is great website you have there, good on you! I like the picture of the hospital with the little tower on the end, an interesting building.

The hopital porter lived up there.  Most of it got burnt down in the late 50s' it's in the hands of a Maori Trust at the moment.
