My friend and co-worker Kenny Boy and I met in a class some 11 years ago this month.
21 months ago when the LOML and I toured both islands of NZ, while in Christchurch we had the distinct pleasure of spending two evenings with Ken and his wife Anne.
They live a short distance NW of Christchurch in Kirwee.
I sent him an email on Sunday telling him we hoped they'd escaped major damage from the earthquake there. He replied they got very light damage at home but the after-quakes were a bit worrisome. The "Heritage" part of downtown Christchurch (which he and his wife gave us the tour) was damaged and our company office there was unusable until it had been inspected by engineers.
Here's a link he sent me where you can see the after shocks they are experiencing. http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/ (http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/)
It's pretty worrisome!
