Long Time, No See...
Blood will always be thicker than water, so the joys of reunion are always sweeter for long-separated brothers and sisters than for even the best of old friends.
When Rupert Peel, of Melbourne, came to Patutahi, he was meeting his brothers James and Tom for the first time for 51 years. Here they are at the long-awaited re-union, from left: James, Tom and Rupert.
And many were the reminiscences when these four sisters met in Gisborne for the first time in 39 years. They are, from left, Mesdames G. O. Southby, Melbourne; C. Cockrem, Gisborne, C. H. Williams, Gisborne, and E. T. Smith, England.
