Wow that was something! What hit me was that I am an Berriman JHS alumni class of 1965. I nearly fell off the chair as I stared and saw the name of my old school, but that is cool, Mr Wax, I just hope you give the priviledge of adding it to my Space page dedicated to Berriman JHS Of course I would like back here if you wish, take care and be well!
