	Description:		Sixty years after the Battle of Crete, a Kiwi WWII veteran travelled back to Greece to find the family of the men who sheltered him from Nazi soldiers. Journalist Jonathan Milne chronicled their emotional meeting. On a flight to Greece in 2001, journalist Jonathan Milne met a Kiwi veteran determined to find the Cretan locals who sheltered him from German troops for a year in Nazi-occupied Crete during World War II. With only two names on a scrap piece of paper, Jonathan helped facilitate the reunion of Alan Hepburn with the family of his heroes – and uncovered a surprising New Zealand connection. In this kōrero with broadcaster and media chaplain Rev Frank Ritchie, Jonathan also discusses his award-winning career, journalism’s problems with revenue and public trust, and why it’s healthy for reporters to own their mistakes.
