 NIGHT OWLS -
A club that Richfield neighbors Steve, Kincy, Bill and I formed in 1961. Weekly meetings in our treehouse and other clubhouses and many outings over the next 6 years. We camped at my relatives’ farms and at North Star Lake on land owned by the... | |
 NEWSTROMS - They lived behind us in Richfield and Gene cut an opening in the fence between our yards since we came and went so often between the two places. My second family during my teen years. Steve was and remains my best friend. He got out of high tech MRI, CAT and X-RAY maintenance and into opals which allowed him to visit us in NZ in 2009. I admired his father who was an exceptionally talented artist (dememtia ended his life). His mother, Grayce, is a funny lady. She lived in that house for 56 years. Haven’t met up with Julie and Karen since 1975, so I just remember them as the young girls in the photo. | |
 NEW ZEALAND - Our home since 1973. Where we live in the North Island the climate is mild year round, though the winter has a lot of rain. When we arrived it was the best country in the world with no unemployment and one murder a year. Everything shut from Christmas to February and everyone was at the beach. The standard joke then was when a plane landed in NZ you were told to set your watches back 15 years. Of course that has all changed and we now have all the problems found in other Western countries, but it is currently rated as third best place to live in the world. And, NO, it is not a part of Australia!!! | |
| NEW ZEALAND STEEL - I was hired to be the trainer in the Information Centre but ended up being the supervisor for five years in the 80’s. That meant buying 330 computers, associated hardware and software, then installing and training the users. A very high stress job | |
| NIGHT AUDITOR - For one year I balanced the day’s accounts for the Holiday Motor Hotel. Two nights each week, 11PM—7AM and I was the only staff on duty, so I had to do everything, but not much going on so I would use the time to study (I was in university at the time). | |
