GOOD morning — and a pleasant weekend to all our readers. Here’s a
further list of glittering winners in our Quiz that sought the names of
three of PNG’s women ambassadors or high commissioners. Off we go ...
***
DEVJANI Chaudhuri in Canada is first — he scored two out of three with
his Lucy Bogari/Jean Kekedo duo. Joe Natera with Bank South Pacific was
the next respondent, also with two out of three; his choices were “my
dearest Aunty Jean Kekedo posted at London” and former USA ambassador Meg
Taylor.
***
FROM Sharon Tokaplen came a fully correct answer: Sharon chose the
triumvirate of Lucy Bogari, Margaret Taylor and Jean Kekedo. Hot on
Sharon’s heels was the Sepik Iron Man, none other than old friend Stephen
Damien. Stephen organises the highly popular Sepik Iron Man competition,
hence the title.

AN interesting and thought-provoking e-mail from regular contributor
Irene Gashu, who lives in Tokyo, Japan. Irene gave the correct three
choices, then added: “Thank-you for giving attention to prominent women.
It is sad but the fact is that there is still a lot of discrimination
against women in many countries of the world, including Japan (the
country of my ancestors), Argentina (the country where I was born and
educated) and Papua New Guinea (the country I like most of the 75 I’ve
visited).”

M’LUD David Faithfull, described by Spy as “one of the renowned Elder
Yachtsmen of the Madang Club” added his distinguished name to our list
with three correct choices; we also note he described his place of abode
as “Spyville”. We picture stone pillars encrusted with lichen, the great
iron gates opening on a sweep of gravelled drive, peacocks strutting
across manicured lawns...
***
REALITY suggests, however, that Ancient Scribbler Spy’s Madang empire of
contacts is growing — wonder if the old boy’s thinking of joining the 53
candidates confirmed for the Madang Open seat in the coming elections.
Shudder.

MORE winners on Monday — and can we remind you of the current Quiz that
closes on Sunday at 5pm? Who was Owen Stanley, after whom the Papuan
mountain range was named? DeeNesenolis@ hotmail.com is the address.
Cheers — and good luck!
