Ron Pearson you should join this group

Ron Pearson
I am . Just not been in posts. I guess we are part of the title of the group. History but not sure if we are entitled to post stuff we dun in the last 50 years . Seems a little short compared to what our fathers and others did previously. Sorting out our office now and the suitcase of paper clippings etc. Might change .

My father oversaw the building of the Railway Station (Brien Lavery)... early 1970s I think. Our family temporarily moved from Reefton to Westport while it was being built.
