Join us at Kumeu Library on Tuesday October 16 at 10:30am as we celebrate the launch of "Jack Lovelock: athlete and doctor" with the author, Dr. Graeme Woodfield."Jack Lovelock remains one of New Zealand’s greatest sportsmen, the diminutive figure in black who, “running in a rapture”, won the Olympic 1500m gold medal in world record time in front of Hitler in 1936. Despite his fame, Lovelock has been an enigmatic, elusive figure. Woodfield has examined the many facets of Lovelock – athlete, doctor, journalist, soldier, family man – and, drawing on the contributions of several specialists, completed what is virtually a forensic investigation of this famous New Zealander."
All welcome. Tea and coffee will be served.
