    BOISE, Idaho — Kathy Grenz is hoping to have one more moment with her late husband, Delmar.
    Later this month, the Twin Falls woman will get that chance, thanks to an elderly New Zealand couple.

    Dougal Kerrisk and his wife are bringing a diary penned by a very young Delmar Grenz during the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942. Grenz apparently later lost the diary, and Kerrisk's brother found it on a wharf in Wellington, New Zealand, 69 years ago.

    The saga of the diary was uncovered last month, when Taranaki Daily News reporter Jared Smith called Kathy Grenz. Kerrisk had approached the paper for help in finding the diary's author.
