Local artist and academic Richard Coldicutt sits down with Dallas Gurney at Whananaki FM to share his extraordinary story. At 16, he lost his mother, father, and sister in a tragic, avoidable plane crash in Pago Pago, American Samoa.
He also talks about how he and his wife Jude discovered Whananaki while travelling the North in the late 1970s, instantly falling in love with the place that would become their home.
The interview captures Richard’s journey of loss, love, and a life well lived, as part of Meet Your Neighbour, meeting every local in Whananaki one person at a time.
