My hubby fired to Vic at Ross just before we got married in 1964. Steam trains in those days. Happy days also.

Your mum&dad were tall then.

That's when it was worth tourists visiting. They did not have to be able to afford to go up in a helicopter.

Bryan Eckhoff I remember Janice. I think we lived nearby. I lived in Russell Terrace and I think you lived in Freyberg Terrace and we were neighbours. Long time ago

Bryan Eckhoff
Carol McMillan was that in Greymouth

We lived next door to Eckhoffs in Ross. I was a toddler though so don't remember much except there was as many of them as there was of us

Arlene Hutcheon
Lovely photo of the Franz. Not like that now.

Alan Pegley
Thanks for sharing Bryan. I remember your folks when they lived in Ross. Vic bought heaps of electric train stuff from me. He loved the hobby

Jennifer Gaskell

Great photo and memory. Knewall the boys and went to Burnham with you Bryan - pulled a perfect slight of hand to get away with some boots - slickest thing I ever saw and will never forget it - would never have had the confidence to try it. Great memories.
