I well remember Leone from college, then met occasionally through university. We then found ourselves in Whakatane when she and Stan were teaching in Kawerau and became friends as couples. In consequence when we moved to Wellington and had children, we swapped houses in two summers so we could enjoy the Bay of Plenty and the Morrises could visit family in Wellington. Later we also had contact with Leone in her second career as author. Our heartfelt sympathy to Ruth and Mark and their families, Mary & Trevor Mowbray
