Herald on Joyce
The Herald has a profile on Steven Joyce, including some quotes from me.Some interesting background I didn’t know about:
Joyce was born and grew up in New Plymouth, attending Francis Douglas Memorial College, then Kapiti College.
His father, a Four Square grocer, was from Eltham and his mother came from Kaponga before moving to Stratford. Joyce says his father was a middle-distance runner, who would run from Eltham to Stratford to visit his mother and run back again.
Joyce was raised a Catholic, and went to church every Sunday until he left home. Now he says he is “not really” religious.
I can normally spot the lapsed Catholics!
