Hi Tim, My thoughts are with you at this time following Rosaleen's tragic death. You and your extended family will be devastated at the loss. I remember Rosaleen from our varsity days and the Local Government Engineers conferences of years gone by. I am presently living with my partner, Jean, in Spain where her daughter lives 30 minutes drive away.

I would forward to an email from you so that we can catch up the next time I am back in NZ.

Kindest regards
