TALKS AND PUBLISHED ARTICLES

Everyone has been very busy with talks and expos and Samantha was

featured in the Seasons magazine as well as the Cambridge News.

TRAINING FOR HOSPICE EASTERN BOP STORY WRITERS

We felt privileged to conduct a one-day training for the life story writers

at the Hospice Eastern Bay of Plenty based in Whakatane and were happy

to donate our time to such a worthy group.

FROM THE DESK OF WRITING PARTNER: KATE McCARTHY

� Kate has recently completed Pick & Shovel to Caravans - a fascinating

story of the Hurst Bros - Early Years in New Zealand’s Caravan

Industry. Claude Hurst’s daughter Valerie Maplesden initiated the

project.

� Kate also made front page news in the local Katikati newspaper with

her production of our very first video. In conjunction with the

passionate team from the Western Bay Community Archives, this

community history video features memories of Katikati as recalled by

Sally Henry, one of the town’s most well-known long term residents.

OUR ODYSSEY

Rosemary and Gordon Mock’s epic Our Odyssey (320 pages and 800+

images) took just under 5 years to complete. It was certainly our Odyssey

as well but an enormously rewarding undertaking.

Warm regards to you, Christine, Sharon, Elaine,

Leane, Kate and Samantha ☺
