The Phillips K9 TV
This was state of the art. You had to get off your backside and walk up to the TV to change the channel or adjust the volume. Can you imagine that nowadays with 60 Channel's and nothing you like? We love our remote control.
Looks like we were in the middle of stripping the wallpaper.
Faulkners Store on the corner of 11th Avenue and Cameron Rd Tauranga. Locals knew this as Faulkner's corner as I do to this day!
I remember this building well from my younger days. The historical picture was taken in the 1920's and the building was not pulled down until the early 80's
Jay gets an award in front of the entire Matua Primary assembly. We are very proud and hope its the first of many.

My oldest sister gets married in Nelson. I found these pictures in my old collection. It was a beautiful low key celebration. Their boy Luke, seen in one of the pictures, went on to become well known in the music scene. Luke
My mum's sister, Una's husband. He was a real character and kind of famous in our family. Embarrassing and shameless at times, but a solid bloke. He made a visit to Tauranga around 1984 (that was a big deal) and stayed at out place at the Mount. Of course I took some pictures. I think these are the only shots of Jack (Real name, Rupert John) are unique in regard to having our family in the scene.
