TE PIPIWHARAUROA HAS PASSED AWAY.
To the people, to the supporters of Te Pipiwharauroa – Greetings. This is to tell you that our Bird is ceasing publication with this number. I know that many will be distressed and sad at the passing of our Bird since for many years it has been flying to them and they have awaited its arrival expectantly; it has become their friend and they have greeted its appearance as a legacy from those who have departed this life.
