Although the menus appear under "Other Menus" on the Ephemera page, I thought it would be neat for them to also be be placed in proximity to the photograph from an actual event that took place on the same voyage.

Some time ago I received an email from Ms. Patti Stevely who told me that her father, Daniel Walker, now 92 years old, had been an Engineer on the Rangitiki in 1936 - 1937.

Today (17 July 2007) I received the photograph shown to the right.
Ms. Stevely allows that her "Dad's sight is poor but I have been telling him about your site and he has enjoyed hearing about it." 

Let's hope that we can stir up a few more memories for Mr. Walker.

If you have knowledge of any of these gentlemen, please contact me at brit1941@yahoo.com and I will pass on your message to Ms. Stevely.
