Don has died

This is sad. I knew Don quite well and his son Dave is a friend. Don was a true 'nature guy' and destined from an early age to excel in the field of bird conservation. His work with the Chatham Island black robins is legendary , as is his kakapo work but he had other exceptional stories to tell. Dave used to talk of the time he and his mum and dad were on Mauritius, dealing to the pest mammals there. If you are reading Dave, we are thinking of you here in Riverton, your ol' 'first-year' town.
