    My deepest sympathy to all of the Alexander family, am thinking of you at this sad time. I have fond memories of the days when her & Wit took over Bootes Milk Bar from Allan & Joyce Boote, with the Juke box playing in the side room. Those were the “good old days”.

    Sad to hear of your Mums passing, gosh I go back to 1964 -I used to frequently go to their Milkbar for milkshakes and a chat when pregnant with my first born then caught up with Pam often until I moved from Hokitika in 1988.
    Kind regards to all the families, Margaret Reece
