Having the immediate family all together for the first time in 25 years was sufficient reason for us to take this picture of the Higgs family. From left, the family is June (Mrs Lincoln, Tolaga Bay), Margaret (Mrs Milne, Matamata), Jean (Mrs Hale, Tolaga Bay), Mr and Mrs Harry Higgs, 35 Wildish Street, Phyllis (Mrs Sommer, Wellington), Ray (Taupiri), John (Christchurch), and Harry (Tolaga Bay). Mr and Mrs Higgs farmed at Wharekaka, north of Tolaga Bay, from 1922 until they retired in Gisborne in 1967.
Pictured after receiving their awards at Government House are Mrs D. Dennis, Bulwer Road, and Louis Moeau, Ward Street. Mrs Dennis received the M.B.E., for services rendered to the public in general and the nursing profession in particular, while Mr Moeau received the Efficiency Decoration for 12 years' efficient service as a Commissioned Officer in Her Majesty's Territorial Forces.
