Letters John has written . .
Normally I have a zillion things to do around the house, or places to go, and don't have the time to write letters. But the odd time I see something in the press, or something happens to me that demands that a letter be written I somehow find the time. I have been known to forward a news article from www.stuff.co.nz and after suitable additions have sent them on to authorities and/or politicians for comment. Surprising I have had numerous replies. However, until I find out if I am allowed to publish any of these on my website, this can but be only a storage area for my personal use.
