Submissions to the Newsletter
Jennifer has given a nice discussion of what's been
happening in Christchurch, so I will be brief and just say that this newsletter editor survived relatively well, her house is still standing and she can now
sleep through a 4.6 earthquake without waking up (one of life's little success stories).
I would like to put in a disclaimer (for the safety of my wonderful contributors): All photo captions are put in by
me (except for the ones Harold did) ... Walter and Andrew M,
hopefully I have enough credit with you both to get away with this one!
I seem to have run out of room in this HUGE edition of the newsletter, so I will leave my puzzle for next time.
Thanks to all the regular and special contributors, and I hope you enjoy the NZSA Newsletter.
