2nd	3rd	4th
1972	Ian and I were on maintenance behind the school. Issued textbooks to 4A, then we elected Mesake Jale form captain and Salesi T dep. Grog party to welcome Kini Nailatu and Boardman to QVS with Ian, Anare Gukilau and the gang. Bob was funny getting involved in all aspects of the ceremony. Played blackjack - Lenati kept getting busted, Jemesa won big and Talatala was good. Apparently, yaqona with mango leaves is potent. I had a bloody nose, or as the Brits say "bleeding nose".	Mesake
1983	Th - Had to shovel out the driveway, roads not plowed and I got stuck in front of Dorothy's house. Her husband pushed me out and I went home and called Arlyn and Jim and decided to try again. Picked up Dorothy who walked up to 85th. Went to Jamaica via Hillside which had been plowed. Picked Arlyn on 80th. Got stuck trying to get into Hinton. Several strangers helped push us to 80th and we took 61 to work. Shusterichs over for 40 minutes of bridge before they went to a concert.
1984	F - Dropped Sugar off at Towns and she went wild with Lucky. Drove to Hills to watch Gail's cousin, Jeff, play against SW Christian. Lost 69-63, blowing a 15 point lead. Jeff had 10 points. Renee wandered around with Gwen the whole time. David sat on the stage and a couple local boys made friends with him.	Joyce - Lucky
1985	Su - Drove downtown to take a look at the remains of the Winter Carnival ice carvings at Rice Park. -25°F windchill made sure we didn't stay long.
1989	White-haired Ken and Colleen arrived around 4:30PM with a calendar featuring their Four Square at Acacia Bay. Ian, Susi, Simon, Fran, Chris, Jim, Trevina, James, Stewart (computer games with David all night and Trefina (just bought a caravan to live in while at Auckland U). Heaps of meat to be barbecued and after the meal we talked about Fiji days. Mitchell bringing 13 toilet seats from Glasgow, arguing about who blew up the lab, toad stories, flooded roads stories.
2009	Super Clinic and Gail was told she could start walking. Water bill for $3887! Shot out to turn off the line to the paddocks, but couldn't find any sign of $20/day leak.
2015	T - Up at 9:30AM so I could go with Max (in a small BMW convertible) to Martin's in Katikati and meet his wife, Julia, and some of their five cats. We played tested Gods 2 and Ars Brassica (twice) and I won a couple times. Martin gave us avocados.
2018	Sa - Emery and Jocelyn arrived from Whakatane around 4PM in Ann's new car. Visit, walk to the beach for photo ops, supper (blueberry wine) and then more visiting until bed time.
2020	M - Kjell (super thin) and Louise stopped in for a cuppa on their way from Katikati to Ohope.
