Officialdom here doesn’t know if they are enrolled offshore or, and here is the critical point, why they left. Fortunately, I can help. Well, at least a bit. We had one leave the country to go off and

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Bob Jones - Sir Robert Jones. The last contact I had with him was last year when he sent me a copy of his latest book. They always came with a personal note. When I say personal, it was a letter that he would have dictated and had typed up and then signed himself. He was from a different era of sorts. I never received an email from him, only letters. The last time I dealt with him in person was in his office in Wellington overlooking the harbour. That too was
