Peter, my home base is Balikpapan and I have my own business. I am currently working on a gold project in Sulawesi which is keeping me fairly active. I know Samarinda (where your wife was born) well as I spent 12 months living there. I worked in the Supply Department for CRA Exploration in 1965 to 1974 when I left to go to Sydney and then joined as the Supply Representative based in Sydney until 1983 and then was transferred to Brisbane. I came to Indonesia in 1989 with KPC and have not left since. I am a young 60 and enjoying myself. I have actually retired twice but an ex Bougainville-ite dragged me back into the workforce (Dave Hatch). There are a lot of ex-Bougainville people here: Jim Chaplin (Bechtel), Shane Wiese (BCL), Brian Bennett (BCL), Gary Gomersall (BCL), Gary Coleman (BCL), and many more. The world of email is a great way to keep in touch.

Ken
