| 1601 | I was born in Hamilton and lived in Ngaruawahia until I was 6. We then moved out to a small place called Waikaretu which is in the Counties area. When I was 11, I went to Dilworth School in Auckland, which is a boarding school. I stayed there until the end of 7th form (1999). I studied Engineering at AUT in Auckland, and then joined the Army in 2001, initially in the Territorial Force, and in 2005 i transferred to the Regular Force where I remain today. I am currently posted to 2 Engineer Regiment at Linton Military Camp, where I work as an Officer in 25 Engineer Support Squadron. My partner is Casey Pinny. She was born and grew up in Otorohonga. After finishing High school she completed a Bachelor of Nursing and she too works in the Army (as Nurse). We have both been deployed to Afghanistan (in fact Casey is getting ready to head back over in a few weeks). We are not married and do not have any children. I have two brothers, Nick and Chris and one half-sister Kyla. As for my parents... my dad grew up in Auckland and joined the Army as a mechanic in the 70's (dont ask me exactly when...) he left the army in the late 70's and works as a mechanic still. He currently lives in Pukekohe and works in East Auckland. My mother is originally from the Huntly area and has pretty much always been a house wife / farmer. She now lives in Dannevirke. | WALKLEY, Samuel Robert (I04338)

| 1602 | I was born in St Helen?s Hospital in Auckland on the 24th of March 1977. I spent all of my early childhood living in Massey where I attended Lincoln Heights Primary School. I lived a typical suburban life when I was a child growing up in the 80?s; which generally involved making our own fun as we didn?t have all the material things that the children have today. In 1991 I started high school (Massey High School) located in Auckland. I went through to 6th form to gain my 6th form certificate. I left Massey High School at the end of 1994 and started a Tourism and Travel course at Unitec in Auckland. After completing a year at Unitec, I decided this wasn?t for me so I decided to go out into the big bad world and get a job. My first job was working for a small Marketing company in Parnell as a Receptionist. I worked for this company for approximately 1 year and then went on to work for another company in the car leasing industry. After 1 year in a receptionist position; I was promoted to a Customer Rep and continued to work there until the beginning of 2000. I then left for a new challenge and joined a document solution?s company as a Personal Assistant in Auckland city. At the end of 2000 I got itchy feet and thought it was time to start my overseas travel. I had met Matt a few months beforehand so we both decided it was the right time to head off overseas together. Matt and I arrived in London in August 2000 and decided to stay a total of 2 years. I worked for a recruitment company and Matt worked as a Sales Consultant for a Copier company. We both enjoyed our time in London and made the most of our time by doing a 1 month trip around Europe along with various weekend trips once we both had established jobs. However homesickness kicked in late 2002 and we both decided to head back home. Matt and I arrived home in December 2002 and rented a house in Henderson Heights. I obtained a job with a city based recruitment company and Matt started working with my father (Paul Craggs) to help build a small recruitment business. I later joined the company as a Consultant in late 2004 and made it an official ?family business? with both Matt, Paul, Gail (my mother) and myself all working together. Horrifically half way through 2003 Matt suffered from a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and was in hospital for approximately 3 weeks. He had successful surgery and made a full recovery. This however put things into ?check? for us and we decided it was time to get married so approximately 1 and a half years later we got married. We got married at Grace hill Vineyard on February 11 2005. In late 2006 I became pregnant with our first child. She was born on May 23rd 2007 (1 day after my due date) at Waitakere Hospital in Henderson by caesarean section after a gruelling 2 day labour. We named her Caitlin Sienna Bolton and she was born happy and healthy. Caitlin is now almost 2 years old. I am currently working 1 day a week in our recruitment business and spend the rest of the week at home with Caitlin. Matt is now a Director in our recruitment business alongside my father. We currently own our own home in Lake Panorama, Henderson, Auckland and plan to have more children. | CRAGGS, Vannessa Ann (I03832)

| 1603 | I was born in Wanganui in 1962 and moved to Auckland when I was 5. I was educated at St Thomas?s Primary School in Kohi and then Auckland Grammar School. After leaving school I attended Auckland University where I graduated with a B.Com, majoring in Finance. After working for 2 years in Auckland at Schwarzkopf as an accountant, I went to live in England for 6 years. During this time I travelled around Europe when I wasn?t working as a contract accountant in London. I flatted in South East London in the Dulwich area and met my future wife Debbie who was a flat mate. We married in 1992 in Tunbridge Wells and last year celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. Debbie and I returned to NZ in 1993 and bought a house in Mission Bay. We renovated the house and our first two children, William and Charlotte were born during this time. In 1993 I joined a small mail order business which in the same year purchased at the time, a small fledgling mail order clothing company called Pumpkin Patch. I have been with Pumpkin Patch for 15 years, during which time I have been Finance Director, UK General Manager and currently GM of Direct (E-Commerce). In 2000 we went back to the UK to start up the UK retail operation for Pumpkin Patch and based ourselves in Debbie?s home town of Tunbridge Wells. In 2004 the youngest member of the family, Finn, was born in Tunbridge Wells. In 2005 we moved back to NZ where I still work for Pumpkin Patch. We bought a house in Remuera which required no renovation this time around. Family and sport are my main two interests in life and when I aren?t following the kids around I can be found on the golf course (Remuera GC) or at Mission Bay Tennis Club. I also keep fit in the gym and with various other sporting activities. I am a self confessed rugby head and follow the All Blacks and Blues passionately. Music is my other great passion but unfortunately possess no music ability myself. | WALKLEY, Bruce Michael (I03869)

| 1604 | I was born in Wellington on July 19, 1972. I grew up in Massey, West Auckland, where I attended Royal Road Primary School and then Massey High School. After that I followed my father's footsteps into the electrical engineering program at the University of Auckland. After I obtained a Bachelor of Engineering in early 1994 I went into the electrical engineering post-graduate program, where I worked on "intelligent" motion control problems for walking robots (see http://q12.org/phd.html ). I graduated with a PhD in 1998. As the New Zealand job market did not have much need for my specialized skills, I moved to Montreal, Canada, where I worked for a start-up company called Lateral Logic that made simulators for industrial machines. Within a year Lateral Logic was bought by Math Engine, a UK start-up specializing in physics engine software for computer games. In late 1999 I met my wife Novey, who was living in Manchester, New Hampshire at the time. Over the next six months I spent almost every weekend taking the bus or driving a rental car from Montreal down to New Hampshire and back, occasionally driving through blizzard conditions. In September 2000 I officially immigrated to the US, becoming the one-man New Hampshire branch of Math Engine. Math Engine folded soon after (another dot com victim). To keep up my visa status in the US I took a job with Ubicom in California, where a grad-school friend of mine was working. So in May 2001, Novey quit her job at Compaq, we packed everything we had into a U-haul trailer and drove across the U.S. in ten days. This is one of our most memorable trips. We settled in Mountain View, California. In June of 2002 we were married at Half Moon Bay, on the chilly California coast. In 2004 our first son was born, Calvin Kai-Wen Smith. In mid 2006 I left Ubicom for Google, where I now work on the Street View feature of Google Maps. In 2007 our second son was born, Owen, Kai-Shiang Smith. In early 2009, after years of immigration paperwork, I finally became a U.S. citizen (though I get to keep my Kiwi citizenship too!). Russ Smith http://www.q12.org/ | SMITH, Dr Russell Leigh (I25)

|
| 1619 | I'm pretty sure this is John Bunyan Campbell, son of Donald Campbell and Annie Matheson.
