Peter SnellSpecial items belonging to triple New Zealand Olympic champion Peter Snell are heading for a new home in Dunedin. New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame chief executive Ron Palenski is set to travel to Dallas early next year to meet Snell and wife Miki to uplift the personal collection of Snell for delivery to the hall. In its annual report, board chairman John Beattie said the hall was very grateful to Snell for entrusting it with these special and cherished items. He said the items would be honoured and preserved by the hall and used to educate and inspire visitors to the hall. Beattie yesterday said it was a great opportunity to get some of Snell's items to the hall.
