Peter Snell unveils the 2.1 mitre Bronze statue put up in his honour outside the library in Opunake...I am pleased Opunake thought enough of me to raise the substantial funs to make this happen.I believe Opunake shaped the person who I was to become,.Peter,s family moved from Opunake when he was 9 years old,.Peter then raced against children through the main street to the Events centre where he met up with an ex teacher Bruce Telford 85yrs and classmates whom he tried to recognise by an old school photo. Peter said "There is too much greying going on" as they talked about their school days. Peter Snell won three olympic and two commonwealth games gold medals in the 1950s and 60s
