Here is the first of three As I Remember Stories I wrote for Jim Sullivan on his radio programme ‘Sounds Historical’ which sadly ended on Sunday 27th December 2015. This is a Youtube audio file which runs about 3 mins 30 secs.  Click to hear . 

The picture below is me attending a school photograph at the old Patearoa School c 1953.  The School was destroyed by fire.
