Mason, earlier this year, was awarded the Ngarimu V.C. post-graduate scholarship and with his wife and family will go to Canada to study at McGill University, Montreal, specialising in psychiatry. The course is for four

years, and leads to a Diploma in Psychological Medicine (D.P.M.). His wife was Arohia Kohere, a granddaughter of the late Rev. Rewiti Kohere, of East Cape and she is also a university graduate, with a Diploma of Home Science. They have one child, Awerangi, aged six months.

Eddie was recently selected as a representative of the National Council of Churches to visit Korea and other parts of Asia later this year.

The three brothers were educated in Feilding and at Te Aute College.
