RICHARD CAMPION. It will be difficult, not to say impossible, to overestimate Richard Campion's contribution to the existence of our profession in New Zealand. As someone who put the future of professional theatre to the foremost of his thoughts, he saw a world that very few imagined in the fifties. Our loss is one of a founder. It is fair to say there was nothing before he came.

His daughters Anna and Jane, and son Michael, had all been to visit very recently and he succumbed to pneumonia on Tuesday (2nd July).
