A Chance Encounter with Prime Minister John Key

As we finished our tour of Parliament, we saw a commotion a short distance away. It was Prime Minister John Key lending media publicity for Roger Sutton, a Christchurch notable, having his head shaved for a childhood leukemia charity.

We had our 15 seconds of fame on the 7 o'clock news that evening, when our faces showed on the Channel 1 television news.  Actually, make that 1 second of fame. See the link below if you want to watch it.
