Thanks for adding Harold Gillies and Archie McIndoe to the website. Good
stuff. There are so many pioneering Kiwi surgeons and doctors you could
also mention. But a couple spring to mind. The first is of course the
famous Brian Barratt-Boyes (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_ BarrattBoyes and
http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/people/brian-barratt-boyes) It may also
be appropriate to mention Margaret Cruickshank, the first woman doctor
registered in NZ, and Reg Hamlin (see
http://www.hamlinfistula.org.nz/ unsung_kiwi_hero) who has done so
much for the women of Ethiopia.

Kia Ora, My name is Jenna and I am undertaking an assignment where I
look at a subculture (NZ gangs) and discuss how dress is used to express
philosophies and interests of the group in relation to the parent
culture (mainstream NZ). I would appreciate any resources, help or
thoughts on the subject. Na, Jenna

I'm just writing to you in relation to Denis O'Reilly's article on his
ancestors origin. I believe that his ancestors were from a place called
Ballyledder, Curraghmore, Beaufort co. Kerry. I have reason to believe
this as on the ship Osaki there is reference to an O'Sullivan family
which would have been neighbours of the Reilly family in the area. Also
my Grandaunt Ellen O'Reilly/lane often spoke about how she thought we
had relative's in Zealand or Australia. Also my great great Grandfather
Michael had eight in Family of which I can only account for four on the
1901 census of Ireland. I could be totally wrong but if you have any
information on the area in Kerry that your ancestors came from you will
be able to locate them through the 1901 Irish census which you can find
at

Help! Many years ago I was listening to a talk by Sir Edmund Hillary on
a Canadian short wave radio station. The theme of his statement was that
competing was far more important than winning (that is a simplification
but is the basic theme). He was speaking against the idea that winning
is everything. I have never been able to locate a transcript of this
talk and wonder if anyone can help me find it? It does not seem to be
listed in any of Sir Ed's quotes?

Hi, I used to subscribe, quite some years ago, and would now like to
renew my contact with NZEdge. We've just released a very smart
browser-based app that harnesses online conversations and makes sense of
them. We've sighted out inspiration as being some of the biggest kiwi
achievers. We'd like to reference www.nzedge.com if that's OK with you
guys? Cheers Doug

FYI another Famous NZer Ellen Dougherty was my great great Aunt. She was
the first Registered Nurse in the World and 8th Registered Female
Chemist in the world. She did her nursing training at Wellington
Hospital which assumes Wellington Hospital provided the first
certificated nursing program. Ellen was also the first Matron of
Palmerston North Hospital.

Is/Are there Expat Kiwi (&/or Kiwi/Aussie) communities, and/or Expat
Kiwi organisations in Sol/Sur South America. - Am interested in
corresponding with Kiwis resident in Chile, Paraguay, Argentina,
Bolivia, Uruguay, &/or Rio Grande du Sol (South Brazil) - Am interested
in being forewarned of complications etc., prior to applying for some
form of permission to reside (& work ?) in one or other of these
Southern South American countries. - Also interested in any observations
re language skills, non-latin communities, education, compliance, etc.

How about adding Archibald Baxter to your list of amazing Kiwis? He is
an extraordinary person. Read his memoirs, ""We Will Not Cease,"" and
you will come to know a man who epitomizes courage, honor, integrity and
decency.

Hello, My name is Greg and I'm from France. I am currently in Wellington
where I study New Zealand gangs. My thesis deal mainly with
neo-tribalism, Maori identity, the gang as something beyond its
demonized representation and I am taking a close look at James Baxter's
work through Jerusalem's commune. As a Hegelian idealist, I believe the
failure in the actualisation of an idea is the failure of the idea
itself. Denis defines himself as a 'Baxterite' and I would like to
interview him. I am John Mc Dougall's friend who taught Toa and Keanu at
Clyde Quay Primary School. John told me Denis is THE person I need to
talk to. Best regards.
