Doug (dad) was in the war i know this much, He never really talked about it, and I never got to know his side of the family, Which is sad as it's like i only know half of me.

I know he had a family before ours, and i do know 2 of my half  brothers and a half sister,,

I loved the family trips we use to go on together, Use to go to kaikora in the hoildays when was younger, or go camping, it was so cool,,

Doug (dad) was and still is a great man to raise his families with the morals they have is the sign of a true gentleman, though bad times and good. Always worked hard,, was very straight up if you asked him anything,, never beat about the bush,, but also had a great sense of humor.
