Selwyn Toogood

It is the anniversary today of the death of Selwyn Toogood in 2001.  He was a much loved broadcaster particularly well known for “It’s in the Bag” and “Beauty and the Beast”.  His middle name was “Featherston” but I don’t know what the connection with that place was – he was born in Wellington.

It is also the birthday of Sir Don McKinnon, another holder of the Order of New Zealand.  Former politician and then Secretary General of the Commonwealth.
