"To Paul, Oliva, Eleanor, Amelia and family, I am with you all in spirit, prayer and video. I was privileged to know Vicki's parents, grandparents Walker and great grandparents Stobba, also Aunty Jill and Uncle Graham, Clayton and Richard and Pauline's friends - all hand picked. One summer holiday in Nelson, Pauline and Bill arrived with their then very young children Jane-Maree, Vicki and Lisa, to meet me - John and Paula came later. 41 years ago, Pauline & Bill asked that I undertake to have Vicki board the Youth Training Sailing Ship The Spirit of Adventure at Tauranga enroute to Gisbourne - I felt privileged, delighted and excited to host a then very young Vicki. 1st Feb 1983 Vicki embarked and sailed. The Spirit of Adventure Trust has now been going for 51 years. This video, 40 years after Vicki's trip, will give some idea of Vick's life-growing-adventure for our young woman from Greymouth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA-IfIx2TMI (2023 a larger ship) Vicki introduced me to Paul, and Oliva as a very new baby on her first trip to Nelson, NZ. So many lovely memories of lovely people who have enriched my life. May God bless you all and Vicki with his Eternal Peace. Love from Robert Graham Johnsen. Napier NZ."
