Katherine said she found sitting beside the fellow finalists, Barrie Nielson of www.Sailingholidays.com and Terry Smith of the Sir Keith Park foundation, to be truly enjoyable. Both are extraordinary men who have achieved so much. Vicki Procter attended with Katherine and they were both totally inspired by what Terry did for all New Zealanders in recognising the great achievements of Sir Keith Park.
