Pride of place on this page goes without saying to Miss Catherine Sherriff who recently celebrated her 100th birthday. Congratulations! Miss Sherriff, who spent most of her life in Auckland, came to Gisborne about 14 years ago. She had a place of her own until about two years ago when she took up residence at Dunblane. However, these past months have been spent up at Cook Hospital where her many relations and friends gathered to wish her well on her centenary. Pictured with Miss Sherriff is her great-great naphew, Jason Sherriff, while at back is Jason's mother, Mrs Paul Sherriff.
