I'm researching and writing an article about the life members of the old National Beekeepers' Association and need some help...
I'm managed to identify all the people who have been honoured, and details about most. But two life members still elude me - and the irony is that they were both from here in Tauranga, and I knew them both well.
I simply can't locate birth/death details for either, though each would be about 100 if still living.
If anyone knows people in either of the Briscoe or Barrow families, I hope you'll put them in touch with me. I know Don had a son here in Tauranga (Angus?) but I haven't had any luck in getting information about either Don or for Doug (who I think moved up to Auckland when he retired in the early 1980s?).
Here's hoping!
