Opinion

Re: Called back for a purpose, December 2015 story.

Recently I visited my old home town of Tolaga Bay expecting to view an upgraded township with The Tolaga Inn standing proudly in her restored state.

What a disaster . . . I say “restored” because in 2015

Lily Stender, through The Gisborne Herald, spoke of her selected team with “Angel” Tony King at the helm as an investor in the Tolaga Inn, and of it flourishing once again as the icon that she deserves to be.

So I wonder why or for what reason, four years on, this has not occurred.
