my Dad to this school he was born in 27 so I guess he would have started around 1933

Couple of typing errors - should be Laurie Bayne and Joan Ilton

Stephen Tvrdeic Stephen, your Dad was a really good man.
I first met him in his role with United Mineworkers and he would come to Kings to meet up with Tony Prendiville Head of the union. We formed a great friendship on Council but only after Norm realised that the Wall was to go both sides of the river - I think he wore a Cobden jersey all his life - and had it not been for Mayor Dallas's opposition to the wall we would have had it built a lot sooner.
Ps Where is sister Sonya ???

Stephen Tvrdeic
Russell King Greetings Russell. You are right there about the flood wall, from what I was told - most Grey people wouldn’t know that. Sonya lives in Mosgiel. Has been in the Dunedin area since 1980, except for 6-7 years living in Queensland. I understand there was some interesting council meetings lol.
