Farewell Alan... We shared many a good time (along with Lorraine) and Barry & Mavis Olsson playing cards and having lots of good laughs. We have very fond memories of those Taranaki days. Rest In Peace Alan

WE will not forget Alan ---- we are also indebted to Jocelyn and Colin Clark for having our last Dairy Tech Reunion at their Home and grounds. On that occasion both Doug Patel and myself had a long conversation with Alan, which we had never had the opportunity to do before. Longer than any I had while at Massey. I am told that Alan and Gary Johns worked together at the Bell Block Cheese factory ---so hope that Gary has a good story/recollection of his time working with Alan.
