More of my Mates

Kevin was born in Taradale, in the North Island. He spent many years teaching at St Bede's College, Christchurch, and keeps up very active connections with the College through the Old Boys network and through managing St Bede's Press, which is a commercial enterprise situated at the college. He is still a regular golfer and a great "mixer", bringing home another perspective of what is happening around us.

Frank comes from Greymouth, on the West Coast, about 3 hours drive from Christchurch. He is one of those "giants among men" that the West Coast produces. He worked for many years in the Solomon Islands, trekking through the hills, putting up buildings and raising money for the Mission. At 60 he came back to New Zealand and took up work around Christchurch. It is an honour to be able to be in community with him in his retirement. (By the way, that is snow outside the window. I expect snow once a winter in Christchurch)

Jerome is a Christchurch man who spent 17 years working in a flour mill before joining up with us. He switched to farm work and looked after the finances of a large community. He is an avid reader of the newspaper and rides to miles on his scooter. A good observer of life, he is the "wise old man" of our community.
