Hello Denise ,I have been corresponding with Daniel a wee while ago ,through Ancestry ,but I´m not very good with all this "high technology "
Now I have completely lost where all that information has been stored ` ...so to speak .
I happened upon the Obituary for your Husband ,and definitely connected a few dots ( for me ).
My Grandma was Dorothy Ethel Grace ,prior to her marriage to Frank Harris.
As I mentioned to Daniel ,I have endless family photos ,that seem to have been passed down to me being the eldest and my mum and Dad both dying young and tragically.
If you would like these photos ,I would be happy to send .
( or via a computer ,I have various IT specialists to call on to assist me )
I live 15 mins away from Warkworth and I will be 65 in December .
My Maiden Name KarenMaree Ward.

My deepest sympathy to Neville's family. I remember the conversations in the smoko room at Grasslands with Neville. Always generous sharing his time and knowledge with the young (back then) scientists.
Lots of aroha to the family

Neville is now at peace after a traumatic time for you both. As a former Grasslands colleague Neville and I worked harmoniously together and I enjoyed presenting his results in easily-read media releases and publications. I also enjoyed meeting him at Lodge meetings when I was a member. I extend my sympathy to you and your family.
