Lunch with the Washbourns

Had a good lunch with Roger Washbourn of the South this afternoon, along with being my grandfather's namesake, he's very much a fine New Zealand gentleman. In his working years, he operated a planted forest for the Department of Conservation, selling non-native resources such as pine and fir trees to garner profit for the regional council. The man knows trees.

We were delighted to see that Roger had the same geneological haircut as my mom and I. Heavily thatched salt and pepper color on top with calics all round, continuing the tradition of the healthy Washbourn hairline.
