A Beloved Public Servant

A Beloved Public Servant

Wellington’s botanical gardens incorporate an historic cemetery. There, among the headstones, we stumbled on this elaborate memorial.

A careful read reveals the young fellow was a beloved public servant and member of the labor party. That said, I did wonder what, exactly, one gives the community to prompt the Prime Minister to erect a statue of one’s naked likeness in the heart of town.

Rumors I modeled for this statue are mostly untrue.
