This page covers the post-Gisborne years. First at at Wellington where I attended university and obtained degrees in chemistry. Then in Christchurch for teacher training, further university study and subsequent employment as a teacher at Burnside High School. The photographs and documents for these years should be read and viewed in conjunction with the Life History files.
