Anthea, with respect has the Max Dowell collection been bequeathed when the inevitable happens, a true Hokitika and Westland historian. Great photo whom would believe today ?

Anthea do you have a phone number or whatchup for Max. Would love to have a chat with him. Long time ago now, but remember him well.

Visited a few in there. Some came home & some didn't.

What a great pity there no longer is a Hokitika or a Reefton Hospital after all the great service provided to their citizens in their own local environment.
