Len should have his own article[edit]

I think Len himself should have his own article, not just a redirect to the museum. He was awarded the OBE in the 1978 Birthday Honours (New Zealand), and Knight Bachelor in 1986. The new third edition of the Southwards Museum book comes out next month; 2nd ed was 1998, 1st ed 1988. There will apparently be some good detail in it, resulting from the preparation and digitisation of materials for the new display at the museum about his life. Meanwhile, for future me:
