George Bee to David Earl Lindsay, small grazing run, No 14, Moeangiangi - Approved
DAVID died 15 May 1907 aged 48
20 May 1907 - With reference to the death of Mr David Earl Lindsay, for the past ten years mail agents on the mailboats running between Auckland and San Francisco, which occurred at a private hospital in Wellington last Wednesday night, the "New Zealand Times" says Mr Lindsay entered the hospital on Thursday week for the purpose of undergoing an operation (for a hernia). The operation was performed on Friday morning, since when the patient had made steady progress towards recovery. He was visited on the Wednesday evening by his brother-in-law, Mr R. D. Kelly (of the General Post Office), and when that gentleman left him, between 8 and 9 p.m., Mr Lindsay was quite bright and cheerful. A couple of hours later he complained to the nurse about his heart, and almost immediately died, death, of course, being due to heart failure.
Mr Lindsay was a popular and capable official, who might reasonably have expected promotion in the near future. He was extremely well liked by the officers of the American liners, with whom he had so frequently crossed the Pacific. He was in San Francisco during the big earthquake and fire in April of last year, on which occasion he distinguished himself by getting the mails away from the vessel in the harbour (after all steamers had been prohibited from leaving port), carried to the ferry depot, and from there transferred to Oakland, where they were placed on a Vancouver express. This was done by Mr Lindsay entirely on his own initiative, cable communication with New Zealand having been temporarily cut off. By his flight from the flaming city with the mails, Mr Lindsay was enabled to catch the mailboat at Vancouver and the bags were conveyed to Wellington weeks before they would have arrived had there been any hesitation on his part. Mr Lindsay's friend, who was staying in the same hotel, was killed in the next room to that occupied by Mr Lindsay. For his prompt action on the occasion mentioned, Mr Lindsay received the thanks of the head of the Postal Department.
Mr Lindsay, who was forty-seven years of age, was a son of the late Mr David Lindsay, an old and respected resident of Napier, and once a well-known contractor there. He was born on Wellington, but was taken to Napier when a child. He was there educated at the Napier Grammar School and on July 26th 1875, he entered the Post Office. He was at one time in the Christchurch office, and many friends in this district. The deceased gentleman was a bachelor. Mrs R. D. Kelly, whose husband is in the General Post Office, is a sister of the late Mr Lindsay and there are two brothers living in Napier

EVE WINIFRED GADDUM (1902-1990)
was born 11 March 1902 to Frank Ernest GADDUM & Margaret REYNOLDS
- (Frank Ernest Gaddum was born 15 Oct 1867 in Italy)
- they lived at Kaiti, Gisborne. Frank was a Land Agent in Gisborne and was an accomplished horseman, playing polo and involved with the Poverty Bay hare hunt ... 25 July 1903 - Though hunting may practically be called dead in Poverty Bay, it is undoubtedly the reverse at the Mahia where Mr G. C. Ormond (George Channing Ormond 1861-1939 early settler, Mahia Hunt Master, founder of the Wairoa Rod & Gun Club ) hunts his pack two or three times a week, and somtimes raises a field of 60 followers ... Frank Gaddum also did good work in assisting the master in working his hounds, and astonished me with his command of doggy language. As showing the keenness with which hunting is carried on here I might mention Mr Gaddum has to ride fully 24 miles there and back before he gets to the hunt at all. This does not contrast very favorably with our local men, who growl if they have to ride five or six miles to a hunt. He was well mounted on Scrapps, who though he came to grief at one fence, it was hardly the fault of the horse.

1 January 1931 - PATUTAHI GARDEN FETE
... We managed to pick the only wet day for the last two months for our annual garden Fete, so in spite of the preparations made in the Domain on the previous day, we had to hold the function in the local hall. Produce and work of all sorts rolled up in carloads, and we soon had stalls set out and well laden. Such competitions as could be were arranged, and an excellent exhibition of conjuring made an attractive side show, conducted by Mr Lyons and Miss Eve GADDUM (aged 28). Everybody set to with the utmost cheerfulness and goodwill, and our efforts were well rewarded in raising a little over ?60 (2012 equivalent of $6,200). Moreover the people from the Ngatapa end decided to hold another function early in January, at which the horse and running events might take place. For this occasion Mr Gardner, of Hihiroroa, has very kinly offered to give two horses as prizes; and enthusiasm is running very high. Considering the hard times everybody is experiencing just now we feel wonderfully grateful to all who are working so generously

- TIMELINE -
for Frank Ernest Gaddum

29 & 30 July 1885 - LORD'S CRICKET GROUND (2 day match)
... Frank played cricket at Lord's Cricket Ground. St John's Wood, in the Rugby School v Marlborough College match. Rugby School won the toss and decided to bat. There were 4 balls per over and the match was drawn. At close of play on day 1, Marlborough College was 117/2. At stumps on day 2 Rugby, after 169 overs, was all out for 269. Marlborough, after 181 overs, was all out for 299. Frank was run out for 49. In his bowling 10 runs were taken from his 4 overs (& 2 maidens) and he took 1 wicket at 2 runs


28 & 29 July 1886 - LORD'S CRICKET GROUND (2 day match)
... Frank played cricket at Lord's in the Rugby School v Marlborough College match. Toss not known. There were 6 balls per over and Rugby School won by 37 runs. Rugby was all out for 163. Frank was caught out for 28 runs. In his bowling 11 runs were taken from his 2 overs and he took 1 wicket at 52 runs


30 & 31 July 1886 - LORD'S CRICKET GROUND (2 day match)
... Frank played cricket at Lord's in the Rugby School v Marylebone Cricket Club match. Toss not known. There were 4 balls per over and the match was won by Marylebone Cricket Club by 1 innings and 89 runs. Rugby was all out for 114. Marylebone was all out for 332. Frank was caught out for 3. In his bowling he caught 1 out at 17 runs


13 June 1891 - from SYDNEY
... Frank arrived on the Union Steam Ship Company's "Wairarapa", 1786 tons, Captain McIntosh, from Sydney and Auckland, at Poverty Bay at 4.30p.m.
(The ss Wairarapa was a New Zealand ship of the late 19th century plying the route between the Auckland, New Zealand and Australia. It came to tragic fame when it hit a reef at the northern edge of Great Barrier Island on 29 Oct 1894, about 100 km out from Auckland, and sunk. The death toll of around 140 people remains one of the largest such losses in the country's history)
NOTE - this is the earliest I could find Frank entering New Zealand. There is the 5 year gap from his cricket at Lords in 1886 and arriving from Sydney in 1891 so not known how long he was in Australia. His first (found) game of cricket in New Zealand was 7 months later when he played for United against Hawera Cricket Club in their second match at the Napier Recreation Cricket Ground in Hawke's Bay.
My speculation based on data found, perhaps you can help verify
- Frank first came to New Zealand in 1891 especially to play cricket representing his Rugby School (he was then aged 23). He leaves in Feb 1892 and then returns 8 months later, in Sep 1892 (more or less permanently)


9 January 1892 - UNITED v HAWERA at NAPIER
... The second match of the Hawera Cricket Club tour was played on the Recreation Ground yesterday. The wickets fell rapidly unti five were down for 32, when Cato and Gaddum made the stand of the innings, raising the total to 82


20 February 1892 - CRICKET AT NAPIER
... ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOLS versus CHRIST COLLEGE - This match was played on the recreation Ground yesterday was was witnessed by a fair number of spectators, including a good number of the fair sex, who very kindly served afternoon tea on the ground. The main features in the first innings of the representatives of the Old Country school boys were the batting of Messrs Logan and Gaddum (representatives of Bedford and Rugby), who both played really good cricket for their respective score of 40 and 21. They were all out for 121. The Christ's College Boys showed very good form and Messrs W. P. Studholme and Ludbrooke played steady cricket, but were unable to quite get their side home, Christ's college being beaten on the first innings by 11 runs. The second innings was played through slight rain till "time" concluded the game, when the imported school boys had made 170 for 8 wickets. Logan proved himself a first-class bat by knocking up 42 runs in A1 style, in which were included two sixers to leg off successive balls. Fitzhill, Gaddum and Bennett obtained their scores by exhibitions of finished batting. In the fielding E. D. Tanner and G. Peacock made nbrilliant catches. It is intended to play a return match at Farndon Park in March, to give Christ's College team an opportunity to avenge their defeat. (however, Frank left NZ 8 days later)
Appended are the scores

... On the 'Monowai' for San Francisco, via Apia and Honolulu, F. E. Gaddum

8 November 1898 - LETTER to the POVERTY BAY HERALD
... Sir, Please insert the following letter received from Mr Gaddum - C. J. BENNETT - "Dear Bennett, My wife tells me that the fact that I advertised in the paper that you had left me (the ordinary course in case of partnership, and you had acted hitherto almost in that capacity) has led people to surmise that you have done something fraudulent. I regret that the world is not more charitable, and beg to state, for the information of those who busy themselves in other people's business, that you gave me notice and left me of your own free will. You can publish this in the paper if desirous to do so. I am., yours truly, FRANK E. GADDUM


1 January 1901 - NEW YEARS DAY at OPOUTAMA
... The first day of the New year was a big day at Opoutama. Mr Gaddum's station, Mahia Peninsula. As is his usual custom, Mr Gaddum had provided his annual feast for the Natives of the locality, who were present to the number of about 500. The fore-part of the day was spent in sports of various kinds. At 12 o'clock a grand dinner was held, served in true Maori style, in a marquee capable of seating 200 people. It will be seen what extensive preparations were made for this department when it is stated that a whole bullock was roasted and 24 plum puddings were made for the occasion. The chief sport of the afternoon was a polo match between the Mangaheia and Mahia Polo Clubs. The following were the representatives of the respective clubs: -
MANGAHEIA - M. and J. Murphy, R. and G. REYNOLDS
MAHIA - F. E. GADDUM, Rangi, Turi and Sam
Very fast games resulted, the final scores of the respective spells being Mangaheia 5, Mahia 4

26 December 1901 - BOXING DAY MATCH
... What will prove to be the match of the season will take place on Boxing Day, when the English Public School eleven play the colonials. As before stated, there is a large number of cricketers in the district who have been nurtured in the great public schools of the Homeland, and the list includes some fine players. The native-bred will also have a first-class eleven, and although minus the coaching in the scientific principles of the game which the English boys have enjoyed, have, like their Australian cousins, taken to the game as though to the manner born. The meeting of the two elevens should result in a Titanic conflict, and 'may the best team win." Complete arrangements are being made to make the day's play as enjoyable as possible. It is hoped to attract as many spectators as though Eton and Harrow or Oxford and Cambridge were the combatants, and the convincing ground Lord's. The match will commence at 10a.m., and continue till 6p.m. Lunch will be served on the ground for the teams. Afternoon tea will be placed in the hands of lady friends, for whom it is intended to erect a marquee and otherwise provide for their comfort during the day's play. Many invitations are being issued by the English players to those hailing from the Old Country, to whom a hearty welcome will be accorded. The Home team will comprise the following representatives of the colleges and grammar schools of England:
* A. H. Hodge and Neale (Cheltenham)
* F. S. DesBarres (Westward Ho)
* L. C. Gouldsmith, J. M. Gouldsmith, Barton (Clifton)
* T. Watkins Baker (Blundell's)
* A. Dewing (Bury St. Edmunds)
* W. Acland Hood (Wellington)
* F. E. GADDUM (Rugby, erstwhile captain of the eleven)
* Sharp (Ramsgate)
The colonial team will be selected shortly by a committee appointed by the Association


11 July 1903 - POVERTY BAY HUNT CLUB
... A general meeting of the Poverty Bay Hunt Club was held in the Masonic Hotel at noon to-day. The Chairman stated the object of the meeting was to see whether hunting should be continued. There had not been a great deal of interest taken in it this year. Mr White said they wanted to know whether the hounds were to be kept alive, with a view of resuscitating sport next year. This year there had been a split in the camp as to whether there should be drag-hunting or hunting after hares. They had only four courses to run over this year, and more were wanted. He did not think hare-hunting would ever be the sole form of the sport adopted, as at Wairakaia it was almost impossible to hunt hares. It was for members to say whether they could take charge of the hounds among themselves as they could not pay a man to look after them. Possibly as the Racing Club had a good meeting they might give a donation to the Club. Mr White said a down coast resident (Mahia) had asked for some of the hounds if the club were getting rid of them. Mr Ormond had given the club assistance in the past and he believed Mr Gaddum intended to make up a pack for hunting in the Wairoa.
Mr Caesar proposed that Messrs White, Rhodes and the huntsman be a committee to select four of the hounds, the remainder to be given to Mr F. E. Gaddum, provided he be willing to give the club some of the pups if necessary. Mr Sherratt seconded, heartily supporting the suggestion


25 July 1903 - MAHIA HARE HUNT
... Though hunting may practically be called dead in Poverty Bay, it is undoubtedly the reverse at the Mahia where Mr G. C. Ormond (George Channing Ormond 1861-1939 early settler, Mahia Hunt Master, founder of the Wairoa Rod & Gun Club ) hunts his pack two or three times a week, and somtimes raises a field of 60 followers ... Frank Gaddum also did good work in assisting the master in working his hounds, and astonished me with his command of doggy language. As showing the keenness with which hunting is carried on here I might mention Mr Gaddum has to ride fully 24 miles there and back before he gets to the hunt at all. This does not contrast very favorably with our local men, who growl if they have to ride five or six miles to a hunt. He was well mounted on Scrapps, who though he came to grief at one fence, it was hardly the fault of the horse.


20 May 1907 - VISIT to ENGLAND
... Mr and Mrs F. E. Gaddum, of Opoutama, leave on a visit to England to-morrow morning. They join the R. M.S. Aorangi at Suva, and proceed vai Vancouver


12 September 1907 - LONDON

28 December 1907 - VISITING MORERE
... Visiting this week at Cooper's Private Hotel, Morere is Mr and Mrs F. E. Gaddum and boy, master Gaddum


14 March 1908 - the WAI ESTATE
... C. B. Hoadley and Son, Limited, report a large attendance at the Nuhaka Public Hall on Wednesday afternoon, when the Wai estate was offered in 28 blocks. Section 28, 134 acres, F. E. Gaddum ?20 per acre (2012 equivalent of $3,150 per acre - a total of $502,500)


19 May 1908 - STOCK and STATION AGENT
... Messrs C. B. Hoadley and Son Ltd., (Auctioneers, Stock and Station Agents, Wool and Land Brokers) are extending their business to the southern portion of hawke's Bay and Mr Norman Mair is relinquishing the management of their Poverty Bay branch to take up this work. The services of our old and well-known settler, Mr F. E. Gaddum have been secured, and he will in future represent Messrs C. B. Hoadley and Son, Ltd., in Poverty bay


19 December 1908 - LAND FOR SETTLEMENT
... We are informed that a petition is being very largely signed in the Morere, Nuhaka and Mahia districts, calling on the Governement to take steps to acquire for the purpose of closer settlement, Mr Gaddum's fine property of 2000 acres at Opoutama. The estate is described as being admirably adapted for small holdings, as is also the Native-owned Mahunga block adjoining, which it is also hoped to persuade the Government to take over and subdivide. There are rich river flats running up a tidal river for several miles, and these could be cut up so that each property would have its area of flat and a proportion of hill land as well. Some idea of the carrying capacity of the land may be gained from the fact that one paddock of 90 acres is grazing 60 milking cows. Mr Gaddum, who has 150 cows in all, has done a great deal to establish the dairy industry in the district and at the bridge over the Waiau stream has a creamery, which it is feared by the settlers may be closed if the property, now in the market, were purchased by some private owner, who might utilise the estate for sheep-farming. One gentleman who is thoroughly acquainted with the Opoutama estate describes it as a paradise for small farms, and states that near the Waiau bridge there is an ideal site for a township, which will be greatly required as settlement in the district extends. Mr Gaddum has already given a site for a school, and it is most desirable that the Government should lay out township and reserve sites for a church, post office, and other public purposes. Seeing the active demand that exists in this district for land for closer settlement, it is to be hoped that the petition from the settlers will receive favorable consideration from the Land Purchase Board and the Government.


30 May 1909 - A DAY'S SHOOTING
... A capital day's sport was afforded by Mr W. Graham, of Ormond, over his Ngakaroa property yesterday, which was visited by a party comprising Messrs J. R. Redstone, F. E. GADDUM, J. R. Kirk, G. Witters and W. C. Pilmer and joined there by Mr Graham, his son, and Mr Newman. The day was a good one for shooting and a big bag of hares fell to the guns of the party, who were most hospitably treated by Mr and Mrs Graham


26 May 1911 - COOK COUNTY COUNCIL

Archdeacon Packe, in connection with the memorial service to-morrow:- Dear Sir, owing to the short notice given, I am unable to order a parade of Frontiersment to-morrow. Our East Coast men are parading at Tolaga to-morrow, and it is now too late to cancel that parade. Many Frontiersmen, though they have to ride 50 or 60 miles to parades, make a point of always being there, when the frontiersmen are called out, and it is fairly fair to them to call them in whenever a Church parade is held in town; and the men in the county districts are now, short handed, entering the busiest season of the year. Hoping you will undersand the position - I am etc., Frank E, Gaddum, O.C.C. Squadron

10 February 1919 - PRESENTATION to FRANK ERNEST GADDUM
... A special general meeting of the Gisborne Returned Soldiers' Association was held on Saturday night. There was a good attendance. Mr F. H. Bedford (President) occupied the chair.
The meeting was called for the purpose of incorporating new rules, and also to amend some of the existing ones. After this business had been completed the President, on behalf of the members of the association, presented Mr F. E. Gaddum with a handsome smoke-chair, case of pipes, and tobacco pouch, all suitably inscribed. In doing so the President expressed the pleasure it was to all of them to have Mr Gaddum present that evening. It was with still greater pleasure they were able, in so small a degree, to be able to present to Mr Gaddum, a small token of their esteem and regard. The recipient was, as it were "father to us all," and all felt it was solely the result of his efforts that they were now located in the present home they occupied, and "no father could do more than house his family." He hoped the gifts would serve to associate them with the friendship which had grown up between the recipient and themselves, and in the years to come he pictured Mr Gaddum seated comfortably in the chair, while in hazy clouds of smoke he could see faces and scenes that were associated with the many happy hours spent in the club. During the war it had not been possible for all to fight, and some performed civilian duty in and a manner as to have become allied with them. He asked Mr Gaddum to accept the articles, which denoted the entire goodwill and affection of the boys.
In reply Mr Gaddum stated that all he had done in that direction was an infinite pleasure. He had never looked for any reward for it, as he contended it had given him more pleasure than perhaps any of them in the capacity he had occupied. The hours spent amongst the "boys" had ever been filled with pleasure and good-fellowship, and he desired to thank the members heartily for the gifts, which even in their absence would serve to keep green in his memory those happy hours with the boys in the club.
Three cheers were then given for Mr Gaddum.
Before the meeting terminated, the president availed himself of the opportunity to introduce Mr K. S. Williams to those present, and in doing so he referred to the good work done in a practical manner by him in the repatriation of "our comrades". Mr Williams had found employment for many returned men, and had made every effort to teach them how to become efficient farmers. He had even gone further, for he, with others of his family, had purchased a very valuable estate with the object of settling returned men from that district upon it. These actions had stamped Mr Williams as a very fine friend to the soldier. Cheers were given to Mr WIlliams, who stated, in reply, that he felt more or less an outsider, but it gave him pleasure to be present. He had merely done for returned men what he considered to be his duty, and he was happy to think that it was so appreciated by those best in a position to judge (applause)


12 July 1926 - FIRE
... The Fire Brigade was called at 2.35a.m. to-day when a fourteen roomed house in Delautour road, owned and occupied by Mr F. E.

- DISPUTED ESTATE
Seven counsel were engaged in the Court of Appeal today in a dispute over the will of the late Frederick John Tasker, of Palmerston North, the appeal being against a Supreme Court judgment of Mr Justice Smith under the Family Protection Act, 1908. The testator died on February 8, 1937, and the will, dated July 21, 1936 left an estate of approximately £20,000 (Sep 2012 equivalent of $1,855,000) for distribution, He had been twice married, but both his wives predeceased him.

On the Bench were the Chief Justice (Sir Michael Myers), Mr Justice Kennedy, Mr Justice Callan and Mr Justice Northcroft
The appellants were
* Mrs Grace Eleanor Hughson (Hawera)
* Mrs Ann Emily Park (Inglewood) and
* George Frederick Tasker (Sydney) plaintiffs in the Supreme Court
and the respondents were the Public Trustee (executor and trustee of the estate)
* Mrs Christina Clara Harker (Palmerston North)
* Mrs Alice Ada Alberta McKay (Gisborne) and
* Mrs Violet Mary Bee (Palmerston North), defendants in the Supreme Court
Mr P. B. Cooke, K.C., with him Mr T. P. Cleary, appeared for Mrs Hughson; Mr R. J. O'Dea (Hawera) for Mrs Park; Mr J. D. Willis for G. F. Tasker; Mr D. R. White for the Public Trustee; Mr G. C. Petersen (Palmerston North for Mrs Harker and Mrs McKay; and Mr J. A. Grant (Palmerston North) for Mrs Bee,
Application was made to the Supreme Court by the three plaintiffs and by the defendant Mrs Bee for further provision out of the estate, and was opposed by Mrs Harker and Mrs McKay. The parties were children of the testator. The testator, said Mr Justice Smith in his judgment, made special provisions for Mrs Harker because she gave up her own home and went to care for him when he was 80 and his wife had become seriously ill.

The circumstances of the applicants varied, but they all had children of their own to whom they were entitled to look for support if need be. They made common cause in attacking the special provision in favour of Mrs Harker. His final impression was the same as his initial impression; that none had a claim comparable with Mrs Harker's, that the Court could not weigh the testator's provision too nicely, and that the applicants had not shown that the testator had failed in his moral duty to make proper and adequate provision for his children, having regard to his means, the means and deserts of the children, and the relative urgency of their claims. The application would be dismissed.

The Court of Appeal affirmed the judgment, with a slight variation that had been agreed upon by counsel during the hearing. The Court considered the will a just one and that it could not be said that the testator in all the circumstances of the case had failed in his moral duty of making adequate provision for the proper maintenance and support of all his children, including those who were making the claim

... It is with much regret that we have to record the death of Mr Robert Stuart, who died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr W. U. Burke, on Saturday afternoon, after a long and painful illness. There was no more popular resident in Napier than was the deceased gentleman, and in the first election, held on 18 January 1875, 493 electors were responsible for electing nine councillors from the 22 who put their names forward for council. From among their number, the successful candidates chose Robert Stuart, a former sheep farmer, and former member of the Otago and Southland provincial councils was Napier's first mayor, a position he held until 1878. At the general elections of 1876 he unsuccessfully contested the second seat for Hawke's Bay with Captain Russell. On the removal of Mr Beetham from Napier to Oamaru, Mr Stuart was appointed Resident Magistrate and it was his boast that during the whole time he sat on the bench his judgements had never been appealed against. A short visit to England to obtain surgical relief from his painful complaint was the only break in his connection with this town since his residence here, Unfortunately little could be done for him by the physicians at Home, and Mr Stuart knew but too well that he had only returned to the colony to put his affairs in order and to die. Mr Stuart passed away at a time of life when most men may look forward to many years of enjoyment and of usefulness. His private charities, his generous liberality, and the unnumerable acts of kindness that characterised his life amongst us, will no more be forgotten than will their loss be felt. The deceased gentleman leaves a widow and two daughters - Mrs Arthur James Cotterill (Julie Moore Stuart (1856-1884) and Mrs William Ulick Burke (Rachel Stuart 1858-?). The remains of the deceased were conveyed to the cemetery this afternoon, a last token of respect being paid to his memory by His Worship the Mayor, the Town Clerk, the members of the present Municipal Council, and many ex-councillors, beside other citizens and country settlers following them to the grave
NOTE Robert's widow, Rachel Keith Stuart remarried in Wellington 7 February 1889, to Alfred Jackson (1826-1901), a Bank Manager, born in Nottinghamshire & died in Wellington.

Death Of A Centenarian On Thursday afternoon, there died at Kerrytown, near Temuka, a man who had reached the unusual age of one hundred and two. This was Mr Hugh Brosnahan, senior, who was born at Currans, County Kerry, in July 1793. He was a farmer at Home and his sons came to New Zealand and became prosperous farmers in South Canterbury. Two and twenty years ago they sent for their father and mother, then eighty and sixty years old respectively and their father's brother, aged seventy. They arrived in 1873 and he settled on the Levels Plains where he lived ever since. The deceased, Hugh Brosnaham, was able to get about and look after things on the farm of the son he lived with until within six weeks of his death. He enjoyed splendid health until a couple of months ago, when he became cross and irritable and suffered from some internal pain. He was a quiet, inoffensive man and much respected by all who knew him. He retained his senses till the last. He leaves a large number of sons and daughters to mourn his loss, but needless to say they are grown up.
