Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,
It was with great sadness this week that we heard of the death of Owen Gould. Owen was a staunch supporter of rowing in the college for many years and on the night he passed was working with many of our students doing what he loved. Owen was a man of great passion and selflessly gave his time in order to coach many of our past and present students in rowing. North Otago owes a debt to Owen and indeed many young people will be feeling that they lost a great influence from their lives. I have included this photo from our 'out takes' from the Sports and Cultural photos this year, as you can clearly see the joy on the faces of the student rowers as they interact with him. Rest in Peace Mr Gould and may perpetual light shine upon you.
May God bless you.
Ngā mihi Nui
Paul Olsen
