Wairarapa News for 19 March 2001 Professor Wilkins was born in Pongaroa in 1916 and left for Pahiatua, then Wellington when a pre-schooler and was only 6 when his father, a doctor, took the family back to England. It was the “spirit of challenge” that drew Dr Wilkins to Pongaroa, after hearing of a doctor’s vacancy while on the boat out from England, Professor Wilkins said in his speech, read by Robyn Gordon, the convenor of the “Pongaroa: The way to go” organisation. “Pongaroa has always meant a great deal to me,” he said, “...it was a place of great beauty.” He could remember the sound of sawmills, which to his child’s ear was like music and which he still hears in Debussy. wairarapa.co.nz /times-age/news2001/010319b.html   (521 words)
