Dear Kevin I will see what I can do about locating someone who can help you with this matter. But a first step might be to contact Plunket. Kirstie Ross History Curator

Hi Kristie,
We have recently purchased the former Truby King, Karitane hospital at 79 Every St Dunedin. The building has had quite a checkered past since it ceased being a teaching hospital. We are are in the process of converting the building to apartments and would like to ask the permission of any family members, if they would allow use the name “Truby King Maisonettes” as a memorial to Sir Frederic Truby King?
Thank you for your help in this matter
Cheers
Kevin Rogers

Thanks Safua – glad it resonated with you. I still have my old Plunket book. I think one of the comments in it made by the Plunket nurse is ‘A very co-operative little girl’ – how things change! Kirstie

This is great Kirstie – it brings back memories of my childhood, and growing up with Plunket.
