"D.B." Goes Hawaiian

New Zealand's famous All Black full-back D.B. (The Boot) Clarke spent an evening in Gisborne recently as guest speaker at a Youth Rally in the L.D.S. Chapel, upper Stout Street.

During the function, Don was entertained by a group of local girls who performed a Hawaiian dance and bade him a traditional welcome by placing a coloured lei around his neck.
