Newspaper Article 1979 – Seven Awarded QSMs
Seven awarded QSMs
Seven Hawke’s Bay people have received the Queen’s Service Medal (QSM) for public or community service.
They are Mrs Audree Clarice Larraine [Lorraine] Curtis, Pukahu; Miss Joan Phyllis Irvine, Dannevirke; Mr Warren John Ellis, Taupo; Mr Michael Lawrence Maloney, Hastings; Mrs Rita Henry, Wairoa; Peter James Hurley, Kotemaori; and Mrs Elsie Grieve, Dannevirke.
Mrs Curtis is a life member and patron of the Hawke’s Bay Car-Club, and has been a member for the past 28 years. She was also president for four years.
When the international motor rallies passed through Hawke’s Bay in 1975 and 1976, the club agreed to give, on Mrs Curtis’s suggestion, any profits to the Crippled Children Society, from when the cars were parked for public viewing in Napier.
Mrs Curtis was also involved in organising the club’s 25th and 30th anniversary celebrations.
