i was having a beer with H "Laurie Hohensee" the other night and he was talking about his time in NZ, H was telling me Geoff Darby was doing a bit over there.
Funny guy H, i was telling him about some blokes on the breeze and he said "did you tell them i still make boards" H always the salesman





i like his story about Bob Mctavish
in 1963 bob come up and asking for a job and said he could shape and all the rest of it, but he couldn't, jokes Laurie
