Speech at opening of the John Money Wing of the Eastern Southland GalleryThank you for inviting me to today’s celebration. We know that the credit for this project is widely shared. It began with the vision of Jim Geddes and his team for what Eastern Southland Gallery could be, and for the role which Gore could play in the visual arts. Those with a vision have a capacity to inspire others to back them, and that is what has happened in Gore. Dr Money, thank you for being part of that vision. Your act of generosity to this town and its gallery is extraordinary.
