Farewell, My friend after many years Knowing you first at Invercargill. Then at Kawerau. Then at sea. You on the Aussie coast. Me on the Kiwi coast. Quite often paths would cross. As you make the final journey. I hope it's on the steam plane. That you got when you Left Kawerau. That where it lands everything is run by steam RIP in My friend
