Photos and note from Cathy Strong

From Cathy Strong, former Beacon Journal staffer, who now lives in New Zealand:

Attached is a picture of my first born, Rebecca, taken last week. She is Lt. in the NZ Navy and is posing for some sort of new tracking system. I think the picture was taken for some Navy publication. Also attached is picture of me in Solomon Islands, where I worked in the newsroom of the Solomon Island Broadcasting Corp for a bit. Since then I have returned to the newsroom at RAdio New Zealand. Just love it. I'm one of the chief reporters so I get to boss all the reporters and decide what stories to chase. I've been away from that newsroom for 18 years, but it feels like
going home. Love it.
