Hello again.
-
It is interesting to see how lives unknowingly intertwine. The Australian gold rush of 1890 was started when a Thomas G. Cue stumbled on a chunk of raw gold in northwest AU. They named the town after him. Thomas G. Cue is some distant relative of mine, through my mother, Mabel Cue. I could drive to Thomas' home town in three hours (a short distance in the US...compared to five ten hour days to see my brother in Florida).

James would have stayed in NZ if it hadn't been for my relative (but if he was the kind to stay home he'd lived out his life in England).

bye, dj
