20th	21st	22nd
1959	Elected to be the student council representative.
1970	Ceremony in chapel for the Governor, Sir Robert Sidney Foster. I sat up front with him and was served a bilo as a VIP. He struck me as a sincere and nice guy. Spoke to him a few minutes about the school library. His wife's accent sounded like the Bronx.
1971	First parking meters in Suva (article) Photo shows first ticket being written for an expired metre.
1974	Breezes to watch Irma La Duce on their new larger screen TV while sipping an excellent Lincoln rosé.
1986	Su - Visited David Smithers at his Eastern beach unit. Walked along the beach, up over a hill and down to Buckland's Beach. Noted all the teenage cruisers in their hot rods. Dave cooked up a meal for us and we had an excellent Woodley '84 Chablis. We followed that with a game of Cluedo.
1991	Walked up to the water tank. Drove Joyce to Collins. I brought tomatoes to Novaks and visited - Chuck has an Apple IIc. Heard about his eye problems. Then tomatoes to Noreen and Paul Schaffer and visited with them for a couple hours.
1997	Su - Day 76 of our 3 month journey around the world. See 1997 Trip Photo Journal.
2002	Heritage Park pavilion for the Krohn reunion. Colleta, Louise, Hansens, DeWanzs, Elbers (got some details on Mike's job at Lodgenet), Bill & Shirley, Dave & Erline, Gutzkes, Haalas, Dents... Meal then I joined the yung'uns for a game of bocce ball and won. I brought the People Weekly trivia cards and a session with Chuck, Rachel, Cheryl, Ne and Gwen. I did a "lollie scramble" demonstration using Tootsie Rolls (David informed me that in USA 'clowns' toss candy).
2006	Clark's for supper and an evening of RnR TP with Mike. Alex honored by being allowed to do a makeup job at NZ Fashion week - she's only a new student in the field. Charlotte in process of buying a larger horse. Mike had a large bag of Virginia peanuts he brought back from SanFran. They were surprized that they were salted and how salty they were. I taught them how to eat the whole thing, shell included. So we really needed the excellent Kim Crawford '04 Merlot and the flavorsome Corbans '02 Shiraz.
2013	Sa - Voted - Richard Moore standing for mayor and Timothy Lee for Health Board.
2016	W - Nick and Christine stopped in for a few hours of chit chat.
2018	F - Irene dropped in for a couple hours visit. AJ moving into a cabin in Waiuku.
2019	Sa - Listened to the Twins set a new MLB record with 5 men with 30 or more homers. Hour walk taking in the beach. Found 20¢ making a total of $7.90 in past three years.
2020	M - Found Mark pruning in a tree and we talked about treehouses. 60 minute walk and I found 20¢ ($9.90).
2023	Th - Mitre10 to get wall thingies for the rangehood at 34OC which I was finally able to install after going home for washers. Gym and pool (8). Watched a Poker Face episode. I am really beginning to like the show - very clever and Colombo-like.
