Radiographer retires

Waimarino's only radiographer Jessie Seaman retires today after "well over 35 years" on the job. Jessie has been nursing since she left school, about 45 years ago. She trained in Wanganui and Auckland and about 35 years ago as a radiographer in Wanganui. Now her plans involve mostly the outdoors, cleaning up the g arden and then tramping and climbing. It was her love of the outdoors that brought her to the Waimarino first of all. She has belonged to the Auckland and the Tongariro tramping clubs and has hiked many tracks around the country. Jessie says her love of the outdoors stems from her Yugoslavia

schooling, where she was brought up. She attended a 'Sokol', a school that had a strong emphasis on outdoor education when she lived i n Kor'cula in Dalmatia. She came to N e w Zealand in 1940. Apart from planning to tramp in various parts of the country Jessie Seaman says she has no intention of leaving her Raetihi home. "This is the centre of New Zealand," she says. People who say the Waimarino is isolated are wrong, she says.

"It's closer from here to a city than from lots of Auckland suburbs to downtown, in time," she says. "Raetihi is the best place on Earth," said Jessie Seaman, "apart from Yugoslavia."
