Reunion at BJ's "Southern HQ" in New Zealand

Mary Ann and Don Roese with Cathy at ABJ's
"Southern Headquarters" in New Zealand

Former BJ State Desk reporter Cathy Strong reports on her two-day reunion with retired BJ photographer Don Roese and his wife, Mary Ann, in Wellington, New Zealand:

“Here are three photos from the Roeses’ trip down here.   One is me and Don (the two ABJ-ers) having an ABJ reunion on the beach in front of my house.  Another photo is just a farther shot -- one close up and one showing the great deserted beach that was just for the ABJ reunion.    

“The third photo is on a nearby Otaki farm where the ABJ reunion, and Mary Ann Roese, wandered around a huge river dairy farm and also a hillside deer farm.  

"Cathy" 

  Cathy will have another BJ reunion next week when she flies from Wellington to Auckland, both on New Zealand's North Island, to meet retiree John Olesky and Paula Tucker, who will be in New Zealand and Australia for three weeks.

All three worked on the State Desk in the 1970s.
