Leaving Nelson didn't appeal to Keay and Ken McCormack, and the family, Julian and Joanna, but promotion is nothing to be sneezed at and so the family have taken off for Palmerston North. Ken, who had lived all his life here, was supervisor of the Nelson Post Office Savings Bank and he has been transferred to the bank at Palmerston North.
