WEDNESDAY--MARCH 9, 2011

LAKE VIEW AND HILLS NEAR HOME OF ONE OF THE WILKINS' FAMILIES
JOHN AND MARGARET WILKINS
ROBIN AND MARGARET WILKINS AT THEIR FARM
I arrived in Melbourne, NZ, following about twelve hours of flight before leaving for Auckland, NZ.  Margaret Wilkins was awaiting my arrival in Auckland following a very quick processing through customs.  Robin Wilkins drove me to the homes of some of their children.  So, I was able to meet some of their family about whom I have read in letters for years.  The winding and hilly roads remind me of the hills of Arkansas where my daughter, Natalie, lives.  I enjoyed renewing friendship with Margaret, whom I had not seen for forty-three years, meeting her husband, Robin, and some of their children and families.
