Back row- Herb Jackson and Reg Jackson, brothers of my father Roy who was the youngest of 4 boys. The other was Fred.

Lyn N Moe
Ian Jackson Thanks Ian I saw you asked about Jackson in another photo so got this one on. Did they all work in the mines.

Ian Jackson
No. My grandfather who was also Reg drove for the local co-op. They were all brass bandsmen. Roy, my Dad, played for the NZ National Band that went on tour to the UK in 1953 and won the British Champs. He was also NZ champon on the Euphonium numerous times. Passed away in 1995 at 70. All the brothers have passed away, but the family still has that strong tie to the Coast. They lived at 7 mile Rd.

Evelyn Dalzell
My dad Bill Dalzell used to tell the story of his missing finger and that was Basil Piner chopped it off. They were cutting firewood and dad kept putting his finger on the chopping block saying 'cut here, cut here' and he did!
