News in Brief
Grandpa Bob Last time we saw Bob was in 1979 when he came to Auckland to attend a Bob Marley concert. This time he was up to see Santana. And he brought along his father’s photos and slides of Fiji where I had taught with his father. We had a few days of recalling the good ole days, though we seem to have forgotten more than we remember.. ------------------------ Goodbye James James Alderson’s life ended tragically. He was a young man who had Asperges and led a limited lifestyle. His family are very close to us and we feel his loss deeply. ------------------------ Gutted to Grouted It took six months to finish the en suite. Very difficult to get a tradesman to show up and actually work for more than an hour. That hasn’t deterred us and you will find our kitchen-dining room is currently gutted and ready for painting. We hope to have it completed before 2009, but who knows, eh?
	GOD - Each person has his or her own view on this one. The rule is don’t discuss religion or politics, so I won’t do it here. more...
	GAIL - My best friend, soul mate and the one who feeds me. And man, can Malleygal cook! She is also a great teacher. She has lived with my bad jokes for nearly 40 years now. Don’t get her started laughing as she goes overboard at times and we have a long wait until she calms down. She had a head tumor zapped in 2003 only to have it removed in 2010, with no side affects. She also survived a head-on car crash in 2008.
	GOOFY - My collection began in the 70’s when a student gave me a pair of socks that she had bought in Disneyland. Back when I was working and had money I amassed about 1000 items. Friends and family have contributed greatly to that and one day I hope to set up a Goofy room. My collection ...
	GHETTO - Congressman Ghetto was my only dog. My Fiji roommate, Heasley, brought this starving puppy home and somehow she became mine. She had 35 puppies (including Senator Shambles) before I got her spayed.
	GRANDPARENTS - Never met my maternal grandmother, who lived in Vienna. But I literally spent my first years with my paternal grandparents on their farm in Minnesota. Later we kids would spend our summers there. And even later I would camp across the road with my Richfield buddies. Then there is Ian White’s mother, Granny, who came to NZ a few times and we visited her in Scotland in 1997.

Mike was in the Peace Corps with me and he eventually settled in Guam where he married and raised a family. I was lucky to spend 3 hours at the airport with him earlier this year on a stopover on his way to meeting in Tonga.		Malley Muses It’s a Man Thing?
	Recently, we got news that Rollie S has had some work done on his arteries. Made me think. We know quite a few men who had had heart/artery operations, but not a single woman???
