My family knew the Manchester/Curtis family through church, home group and camping trips. I don’t think that I ever visited the Manchester/Curtis home at 402 Muritai Road or that you ever visited mine at 53 Rona Street. Our kids were too different in ages to play comfortably together, roughly 10 (Hester), 8 (Ewen), 6 (James) and 4 (David). Two years is a big difference when you’re little.
Except as the leader of a small gang of two, my memories of James are scant - just a name really. I remember David as the younger and I remember him more visually. He is about five years old and has a rather round little head, topped with two centimetres of very fair, stand-up, hair. I reach out to touch his head to feel if it is as prickly as it looks - it is downy. My kids and I call him ‘Fuzzytop’...
