A - rather - belated mini-tribute to honour the memory of the late, great kiwi Prime Minister Norman Kirk, a man sharing the same day of decease as Princess Diana, and now apparently the 'ole songwriter Hal Davis, author of at least 3 major 50s/60s tunes & lyrics. Diana's 15th death-anniversary and Mr Kirk's 38th. A popularly much-esteemed leader of Aotearoa, who, unlike probably any other politician in the decades following, built his own house, and in today's earthquake-riddled Kaiapoi, of all places...today similarly commemorating an (in)famous anniversary, i.e., alongside its' fellow Cantabrians, the 2nd year since the first of the major Canterbury/Christchurch quakes. To Mr Kirk's lasting credit, he was one who pursued social conservatism and economic progressivism and international visionary leadership at a time when it was sadly lacking most other places. Here and overseas.
