Things I Have Won
15 July 1960 I won the fishing gear set at Leroy's gas station draw, which wasn't too fair because I hadn't been a customer. Mr. Daniels told me that I should give Kincy part of it and I didn't want to, so I don't think I did.
4 Nov 1960 Won $5, second place for Benilde game poster. enlarge
21 Nov 1960 Won $2, for homecoming poster.
1972 Came in 2nd for a "Time" contest on Radio i (in NZ) and I was at QVS listening to it coming in a very weak signal. They liked that my submission was typed and in alphabetic order. They said I would get a prize, but I never did.
26 Oct 1973 Won a $10 Go-Gas voucher from 1ZM (no car, eh?).
10 July 1985 Been trying the last few days to get through to Hauraki with no luck. Today I managed to get a ring, so we hung on - taking turns until I had to leave for the bus. Around 8:20AM Blackie opened the lines for calls (and didn't clear them first) and Gail got through onto the air and won.  As soon as I got off the bus at the mill I put my radio on and heard the song being played, so I knew we had won. When it finished he said: "Jay and the Techniques and 'Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie' just made Gail in Papakura $200 richer". enlarge
30 Sept 1993 Everyone excited to see me when I got to school and I "had" to see Nola Dougall right away... I had won the smaller hamper at the fashion show last night. So I had Gail pick me up after school. Nice $8 wicker basket, bottle of wine, orange juice, pop and food... (around $150 worth). enlarge
8 Jul 2008 Won 3rd place and got a hamper of 26 items (jams, capers, caviar, chutneys, dressings, soup, sauces, coffee, wine, date bars and candy) from QUANTO raffle. enlarge
