hi Cuz I would truly love to meet this part of the whanau because I am in Otaki every month and have just come back from 10 days at the Wananga.
Did Aunty Mona tell you that you can all call me Rev Dennis because I have ordained a deacon in the Maori Anglican Church and in July I will be ordained a priest.
I suppose I follow mum because she was the Sunday school teacher at St Saviours Church in Waitara,
Adam is still in Ireland but his visa will expire soon
and the owner of Harvey Norman has called him home, he is disappointed because he was going to work for 6 months in London.
I write this also to remind Margret that we are a year older, me today the 23 January and you in February.

Dear Deacon Patuwairua
Dear Reverend Patuwairua

Well done. I hadn't known that you have an ordination in July. I reckon you've got to get your own anthem such as Johnny Cash's song called 'The Reverend Mr Black'.

Happy birthday to you Dennis. Did you enjoy the photo of your Mum walking with Nana and Aunty Marj?
I will email you to let you know of the contact details of Don who has been sharing photos, comments and newspaper articles.

I'm selfishly sorry that Adam is bound for Australia from Ireland. I had a big fat dream of staying with him.

Margret, still younger than you

Yes I had seen some before, but I cannot remember where those photo's of my mum were, I had a feeling that it would be at Aunty Rubies place when I was visiting her one day. She had heaps of photo's of my mum and dad, Uncle Tui and aunty Ruby at the Waitara regatta.
