Visit to Bonga Crengle

I went down to Riverton yesterday for the day and on the way home called into the cemetery to pay my respects to Bonga. It was very peaceful there and only a stone’s throw from the Riccarton racecourse where Bonga was a racing steward. I served with Bryan on Royalist, DTRC Wellington (lived next door at Cannons Creek) and Waikato. A great human being and I will have learned a lot from him over the years. If anyone is ever down that way and pay their respects, he is interred in Lawn Section 14, Plot 6.
