Sleep well, Greg. FIVE Masters???? That is worse than my dearly beloved's four Chartered Memberships (Chartered Engineer, Chartered Scientist, Chartered Mathematician and Chartered IT Professional if you must know!).

Greg - if you are still in need of pictures of New Zealand ODM for your book, please get in touch. Both Philip O'Shea (the NZ Herald) and the Director of the New Zealand Honours Secretariat have been very helpful in providing pictures for my website.
