Guestbook

  1. Deepest sympathy to Ginny and all the family on the passing of Paul. Paul was a wonderful friend to me in 1967 when I ventured into the experiences of tramping and knew absolutely nothing. His valuable experience, guidance and always his watchful eye made this a truly unique experience for me. I have crystal clear memories of great tramping trips especially in the Arthurs Pass area. Ginny his sister is a wonderful life long friend. Patsy (Cooper)
