It rained heavily last night and people are worried about more landslides. We are supporting 2000 people in a camp which is out of harms way. I will post a story on this soon.<br /><br />You are right, Umi gets few victories, but when they come, they are so sweet.<br /><br /> BobBob McKerrow - Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832128768908667724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199830678971482883.post-7399832491878487782009-10-27T12:47:04.007-07:002009-10-27T12:47:04.007-07:00Kia ora Bob,

It could be too, that when there are scars they may not heal, but the work-around to me is to make the present positive too.<br /><br />My over-all thoughts on Lab. weekend trips are that I survived some of them, as for whatever reasons strange things used to happen to me for awhile. <br /><br />I tend not to dwell on some of the experiences, such as a few us being the last to see Pete G and Doug W. at Unwin prior to their disappearance on the Caroline. We [mostly Dunedin'ites] ended up at Muellar totally unable to leave the hut, knowing in our hearts they were goners in the same storm. I started seriously in the hills in '67 so like Keith they were ahead of me in terms of experience. Subsequently I got to know Pete's mum a little bit to know her other losses, then his sister very well, and she married my closest friend, but he passed on soon after. The whole experience making me mindful that some families seem to get more than the normal lot of tragedies. A trend that is probably happening all around your Red Cross work places.<br /><br />From Rolleston to Philistine was a grand effort btw! A lovely area.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DonaldDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950168008475975293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199830678971482883.post-7776156345263789932009-10-24T01:55:13.600-07:002009-10-24T01:55:13.600-07:00Dear Donald

We drobe from Dunedin and did the Otira face of Rolleston and then went on and traversed Phillistine. We talk of memories, but perhaps Sommerset Maughn summed it up well.<br /><br />“What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories.” <br /><br />If your memories are positive I feel we will not carry his burden.<br /><br />BobBob McKerrow - Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832128768908667724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199830678971482883.post-23158399841207259102009-10-23T22:27:54.796-07:002009-10-23T22:27:54.796-07:00>I forgot it was Labour weekend.
