Hello:) we have had an enquiry at the museum for a photo of Francis (Frank) Hooper director of the Waimea Dairy Co. Apparently he was affiliated with Murchison Dairy Co so the enquirer was asking on the off chance if anyone has a photo of him... We don’t seem to have one in our archives but wondering if anyone else has one.🙂
