I've been meaning to write a post on people for a few days - and sitting here watching Six Feet Under is the perfect time.
News that Palmerston North-based adviser John Doolan has been killed in a cycling accident is premature.
Thanks to my friends in Balmy Palmy I now have evidence that Mr Doolan is is still with us!
In other people news I had an interesting chat with Bernie McCrea the other day. Bernie is no longer with AIA, after five and a half years with the company. While the company originally said that Bernie was stepping aside from the GM's role to take on "a new distributional role, the exact nature of which is yet to be determined" he has actually left.
He tells me it was amicable and by agreement - and I have no doubt it was. (Never said it wasn't).
As I said before it is sad to see a guy suddenly leave a business when he has led it through a very good period. Bernie got some good runs on the board and has always been a good guy to deal with. I wish him well.
What I am really love is some of these beat-up stories about "the record been set straight" ra-ra. What a beat up.
