Cathy and I were kindred spirit English teachers at PNGHS. Neither of us was very tall and both of us talked a lot so, when students came to the staff room door and asked for Mrs Sy/ims, they would have to say, the one with the rings in order to get Cathy! One memorable year Cathy and I took a group of Year 10 girls camping at Waitetoko where we went tramping and learned how to fly fish. Ralph and Dave had a wonderful working relationship at PNBHS and Adam and Miranda will always be remembered by us. Cathy´s love of language and literature and her warm, exuberant personality will be treasured by me. Arohanui to your whanau.
