It's Not The Moutain We Conquer But

I Have Discovered That Even The Mediocre Can Have Adventures And Even The Fearful Can Achieve.

I Would Have Said That During The Early Days Of My Life There Was Never A Moment When I Wasn't Fit. We Worked Extremely Hard On The Beekeeping Line, And Both My Brother And I Used To Compete, Particularly When We Were Collecting Honey. We Would Each Have An 80-pound Box Of Honey And We Would Race Up The Hill On The Tuakau Track And Race Back Down. We Just Raced All The Time, And We Used To Keep Very Fit Indeed.

Becoming A 'sir' Is Slightly Uncomfortable At First, Although It Is A Considerable Honor. It Is Amazing How Quickly You Become Accustomed To It.

I Was Definitely Seriously Affected [with Wifw And Daughter Deaths], No Question, But I Learnt To Devote Myself To The Things That We'd Been Doing For Years And Years And Slowly The Pain Drifted Away.

I Was Certainly Seriously Emotionally Affected [ When Louise Hillary And Belinda Hillary Died], But We Were Building The Hospital At The Time And I Decided That The Only Thing To Do Was To Carry On And Complete The Hospital - And It Was A Jolly Good Hospital Too, I Might Say. So I Really Did It By Working And Working On The Things That Louise And I Had Been Working On.
