From Auckland, New Zealand, Bill Rolph checks in: "The Rolphs continue to enjoy New Zealand. Have been here eleven years - my position, director for New Zealand, Pan American World Airways. Our oldest son, Ron, 17, is now at Hawaii Prep Academy at Kamuela, Hawaii; next son, Alan, 15, hopes to go there next year. They will be Dartmouth prospects in a few years. Margie, 11, our only girl, and David, 6, are in school in Auckland. Doubt if we'll make reunion, but you never know - we'll try. If any '45s are in this area, please contact me."
