So massive history, lots of grief out there.
So I just left and tried to start up a new life and cleaned up because I was involved in drugs, alcohol, all of that.
Well, mainly just pot and a few hard drugs, but not heroin or anything like that.
But, you know, partied hard and ended up, I ended up going clean.
And I've been clean for 30 years.
Yeah, so my, so local Waihi Beach guy,
The Ranga boys, well, I don't really want to mention names.
You know, that's fine.
Because they don't really know what happened, my experience that happened there either, because I was there on my own.
But, yeah, my girlfriend, her husband, they were all down camping there, and they often did.
And they said, come on down.
I think it might have been about 2004, maybe.
And anyway, so I was, I would have been living here in Tauranga, so I was in my car, was going there to meet them and the gate was locked, but it just happened, or it took me a while to find the driveway.
And then I just saw John Tamahere at the gate.
I thought, well, this must be the gate.
And then John was there.
And I just said, look, hey, I'm coming down.
I'm going to camp with Doug.
And he just opened the gate and let me in.
And so, yeah, I went down and caught up with my friends and we had a night there and they were leaving the next day.
