at his newspaper, the Haiti Sun, in the early 1950s.
Checking my blog's page views just now, I noted that there had been, in the past few days, 438 views of my December 14, 2015, post on the great New Zealand-born journalist Bernard Diederich. I immediately sensed that Bernard had passed away, and sure enough glowing obituaries in The New York Times and elsewhere confirmed he had died, aged 93, in Haiti last Tuesday. He will buried today, with a rock from Makara Beach, outside Wellington in New Zealand, in his hand.
To my enormous pride, Bernard himself absolutely loved my blog post of 2015. I recommend reading it here.
