MR HENRY TEHAETA WHAITIRI A well known man in Bluff credited with the training of many of the port's oystermen, Mr Henry Tehaeta Whaitiri, has died in Bluff. Mr Whaitiri (also known as Sandy) achieved fame in the early days of the New Zealand coast as steersman for a boat used to deliver stores to the lighthouses. He was a well known oysterman, and during the off-season relieved on the crew of the Bluff Harbour Board's tug on its periodic trips to Port Chalmers. He stayed in the oyster industry until his retirement six years ago. Mr Whaitiri was well liked in the Bluff community. He was a member of the Hokonui Trust Board since its inception in 1938. Mr Whaitiri is survived by his wife and daughter (Nancy, Mrs S. Hunter), and son John. A daughter, Reka (Mrs Condren) predeceased him. There are ten grandchildren.
