Back in about 1979, my first wife and I attended a kindergarten function that our five year old daughter Justine attended at the time. We also had a younger son, Duncan, and it was at this event that we met Brian and Joan who also had two boys, Aaron and James. We hit it off straight away and became good friends, heading off to parties, Sunday drinks, pool parties in summer time and generally having a good time while our children played and got on well with each other.
