DescriptionPrinted in greyscale in the ‘Leader’ on July 3, 1995.
Stan and Isobel had been there sine 1971, and Stan had begun by clearing gorse and blackberry 2.4 to 3 metres high, roots and all, to create a firebreak around his house, and continued to clear more after he retired, planting trees provided by friends and neighbours. The area now needed 6 hours' work to mow; a job shared by him, Dennis Murray, and Alan McGhie. The sign acknowledging his work was celebrated on the previous Wednesday.
The Youngs were married in St David's Presbyterian Church, Petone, on March 29, 1947; they were pictured in the April 9, 1997 'Leader' with all but one of the bridal party, the day after the fiftieth anniversary.
