Any Kiwi-katters?

G'day,

Are there any other Kiwi Folk out there who haunt Mudcat Cafe on a regular basis?

Conversely, any Mudcatters who have been to New Zealand, and made it as far south as Stewart Island?

Sam,
The Marmite thread brought out lots of Kiwis. When I was at a folk festival on Vancouver Island in 1990 I met a singer from Auckland named Dick Coker. We traded tapes and I kept meaning to go visit but never did. Now that I'm nearly halfway there, perhaps I'll get down to NZ some day. It's definitely on my list.

Aloha,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Think you'll find I'm the only Kiwi poster to the Marmite thread. Didn't even see many Aussies....;)

Yes, I made it down to Stewart Island, for one day about six years ago.
We had a Mudcatter called 'Kiwi', but I haven't read from her for about 2 years.

Hi Wolfgang, hope you enjoyed it here, even if only for the day.

BTW - must learn to use my "personal" pages more - just discovered your post today.

Cheers - Sam

Billy, there used to be a VERY nice, knowlegable guy called Pete M. that posted regularly, but he has not been seen in awhile...a search on his name will get you some threads, and maybe some other names....

Thanx Bill, will check Pete M out - hey you should try SimulBrowse for a browser.

In haste - Sam

Gidday Billy, wherever you are.

You seem to have droped off around the time I discovered HearMe in late July.

I'd looked in more off than on for three or four years but hearme changed that, I can't keep away from it

I'd like to catch up with you and any other kiwis that frequent these columns

jacko,

Iihave seen Billy here for yonks. It might be a good idea to send him a personal message (click the link at the top of the page "Personal Pages" & scroll to Send a message") so that he will see it if he does check in after this thread has slipped off the end of the list.

Kind Oz regards, (even though you are a Kiwi (grin)) Helen

Haven't been to New Zealand myself, but there is a longtime family friend connection. During WWII, my father, who was a U.S. Navy SeaBee in the South Pacific, befriended a New Zealander named Bruce Mason. Bruce went on to become a successful playwright, and the Mason family and ours kept up a friendship for many years. My parents visited NZ about two years before Bruce tragically succumbed to cancer.
