I have many cherished memories of the Forrester family in Greymouth and Doug. I recall a few pranks between my Dad Leo and Doug, i.e. replacing the Forrester's morning milk delivery with Irish green milk on Orangeman's Day. And then Doug's cumuppence with the overnight stealthy paint job of the Beban's fence. A nice shade of orange for St Patrick's day! Wonderful neighbours and good friends. Kind regards.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I worked at the TAB for many years and had great respect for Doug and his style of management. He was always fair, treated his staff with respect and had a great sense of humour. Alison Stewart
