[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 8930, member: 44"] In my rapid editing, I left out the lines with their names in the clear: [B]Don Barrow[/B] and [B]Doug Briscoe[/B]. Both did enough for the industry that they were made Life Members. Don Barrow and his brother Charlie Barrow were Bay of Plenty beekeepers from probably the 1950s. Charlie died before my time, but Don was around the BOP branch in the 1980s. I remember last seeing him probably 8 or 10 years ago now (?) in Tauranga, and then only for a short catch up. Doug Briscoe was a Dept Ag, then MAF, apiary advisory officer. He made quite a reputation for himself on the West Coast, then later transferred to Tauranga. He signed my first inspector's warrant - the equivalent of AP2, I guess, at the time. Doug retired in the early 1980s, and I think I remember hearing he was moving to Auckland, but never heard more. I'd sure like to know where they are, both for the article I'm writing, but also just on a personal basis. Nick Wallingford Tauranga [/QUOTE]
