Christchurch High SchoolOld Boys’ Association

The President’s ReportThere have been many positive activities focused on by Old Boys and by the Old Boys Execu-tive in recent months and also opportunities for the Old Boys’ Association to be integrated and active in the life of the school.

On Friday it was my privilege to represent the Old Boys’ Association when the Governor General, His Excellency Lieutenant-General The Right Honourable Sir Jerry Mateparae GNZM, came to Christchurch Boys’ High School. You may remember previous occasions when the Queen’s representative came to School, or maybe you remember the photos of such occasions when the Cadets were inspected by the Governor General: the band would be in the background and a long line of dignitaries with big coats and hats on and ladies with fur coats were seen. Although the fur coats were not to be seen, the way that the Schools’ boys presented themselves and the greeting they gave through a rousing Haka would have meet the high standards of those years ago. The Governor General was invited to School by this year’s Senior Monitor Jake Miller. His visit was part of a programme run at the school in which leaders from around New Zealand are welcomed to School to speak to and with the boys and share their life and leadership approaches and experiences.

At the Old Boys’ Centennial Dinner last year we signaled our intent to pursue the estab-lishment of an Old Boys’ branch in London. We have nearly achieved that goal. I want to acknowledge the wonderful facilitation skills of Jim Blair at this stage of the establishment of the Branch through his wonderful Old Boy network and friends. A structure has been developed in London and we are delighted that Prof. Emeritus Robin Carrell (‘49-‘53) of Cambridge University has agreed to be the Patron of the branch and Gerard Williams (‘82-‘86) our first President. These two men will be supported by Vance Thompson (‘82-‘86) and Joe Deely (‘82-‘86) as committee members. The Branch will establish an opportunity for Old Boys who live in London and the UK to connect with each other and fulfill our aims namely to keep old boys in touch with the school and direct attention to matters concerning the welfare and advantage of the school.

The nominations for 2013 Old Boys’ Sportsman of the Year and the Sporting Clubs’ Achiever of the Year are being called for as we go to print. There is a selection process, criteria and a panel of judges that make up the selection of these prestigious awards. The judges for the two awards are different in that sports editors of the Christchurch Star and The Press along with the President of the Old Boys’ Association choose the Sportsman of the Year, and the Association President, the Association Vice President and the Association Secretary choose the Achiever of the Year. With the disruption to our traditional programme over the last two years we are particularly anxious to have these award celebrated at the reunion on the 28th of May.

Finally, a call to action. Our shrine has been damaged in the earthquakes over the last two years. On the Christchurch City Council’s website, christchurchcitylibraries.com, the shrine is described like this, “The shrine to commemorate the sacrifice of High School old boys in World War One (1914-1918) was unveiled and dedicated 31 January 1926 by the

3

former headmaster Charles Edmund Bevan-Brown (1854-1926). The shrine was the idea of Maurice John Guthrie (1891-1968), an architect and also an Old Boy. Construction was by a monumental mason, Henry Silvester (1876-1938). It was paid for by Old Boys.”

I want to raise the issue of the damage with you as it is a key focus of the Executive. The question being asked is how the Old Boys organise the restoration of the shrine to insure its future for generations to come. Work has already started regarding answering this question, but the financing of the restoration will be key.

Our Old Boys Association is in good heart and looking to the future – Altiora Peto

Deceased Old Boys

To keep the database up to date, Jim Blair, one of our Executive Members, checks the Christchurch Press deaths each day with the School database, and records the lists that are printed in the Newsletters.

To assist Jim all members of our Association are requested to help by advising the Secretary of any Old Boy deaths in your area, ie outside of the Christchurch area.

UK BranchAt last we can announce that we have a United Kingdom Branch of the Old Boys’ Asso-ciation, based in London. The first Patron is Professor Emeritus Robin Carrell (1949-53) of Cambridge University and the first President is Gerard Williams (1982-86) of London. Committee members are Vance Thompson (1982-86) and Joe Deely (1982-85).

We are now looking to contact more Old Boys resident in the United Kingdom who would like further information or to join the branch and to meet for fellowship and reminisce on their days at CBHS. Such events are yet to be arranged and the more members we get the more ideas will flow in this regard.

If you have any names with contact details please e-mail them to:gerard-williams@hotmail.co.ukThe Old Boys’ newsletter will be e-mailed to those who join the United Kingdom Branch

along with the School website address for up-to-date information on their old school. Please act now to make this the success it deserves to be.

Steve Brooks (2001-2003)

Steve became New Zealand’s youngest real estate agent and started selling houses at 15 while still at CBHS.

At 18 he started his first business, Brooks Homes Ltd. He then started My Refund, the South Island’s first tax-refund company and watched it grow from zero to 80 staff in 12 months.

He added a few businesses to his list, including My Body, My Bar, My Will and My Accountant. He started Rebuild Me in 2012 to cater for homeowners who have opted out of Earthquake Commission work. The company was formed ‘to fill a need’ and was growing quickly.

Steve said he had a goal, works hard and tries to think of ideas to fill a gap. The city urgently needed more housing to keep up with returning residents, workers or people moving to Christchurch because it was the place to be. He hoped to start a scheme for young entrepreneurs in Christchurch becase he felt there was a gap.

QueenslandDear Fellow Old BoysIt is with sadness that I advise the passing of John Anderson 53/57. Our sympathies go out to his son, Murray, who is now resident in London.

Trevor Ayson 46/47 has resigned because of problems he is having after being hit badly by the earthquakes in Christchurch. Trevor had the perfect set-up of six months living on the Gold Coast and six months in dear old Christchurch. He has now relocated to Levin. We wish him well for the future.

So our membership has decreased to 38 Old Boys. We need new members so please all of you put your thinking caps on and find some Old Boys to join us.

Over the past few months, I have had the chance to speak personally to a number of our members and thought you may like to hear about them.

Dick Allard struggling with ill health but he enjoyed the Canal Cruise. David Anderson is now in his lovely new home at Manly West and hopes to make our next function. Nigel Bar-nett, the Assn Past President, is a busy farmer but had time to chew the fat with me recently. Donald Chisholm regrets that he will not be able to make many functions as his lovely wife, Heather, is not keeping good health. John Clark has finally retired after 48 years; or is it 38 years – whatever, he is happy to be retired. Ray Duder, despite many trips to hospital, is still his bright, happy self.

Richard Goodman is back from his stint in London and enjoying the Gold Coast. Dr Geoffrey Gray, our senior member, is a delightful 95 years young. His years at school were 1931-33 and it was a pleasure for me to chat with him recently. Chris Hattaway has had a period of hospitalisation but has bounced back. He tells me his father, Neil, is not that bright and they have left the home on the hill and are now in the Russley Village. Barrie Johnson, our Association’s hard-working secretary, continues to keep things ticking over. John Tilley continues to correct the problems of the world. Well, not quite, as his wife Ann keeps a weary eye on him. Morris Wood and Trish are having a lot of house problems down at Burleigh Waters, especially the electricity.

So there is a birds-eye view of some of our members.I wish to thank sincerely a large number of you for your constructive responses. The

generosity by ten of you has resulted in a great amount of $270 to our coffers. Thank you so much.

Now for the future I have to advise that plans are under way for our next function. Thanks to those who responded to my suggestion of a coach tour of the huge port of Brisbane. This will be followed by a lunch at the Manly Yacht Club where we can all have a good old chat and, if you wish, a few drinks. The cost of the tour and lunch should be only about $35 a head, which on present day prices is not too bad.

I would appreciate some expressions of interest before I go much further. The days the coach does the port trip are Tuesday and Wednesday only, so let me know what you think.Bruce Andrews

Grant recently returned to Christchurch from Vancouver where he worked as a Research Analyst for a Diversified Mining Company. Before moving to Canada, he spent 3 years living in Wellington, where he worked for the Bank of New Zealand.

Having grown up in Christchurch and with many roots in the community, last year’s events had a marked effect on him, prompting his decision to return to Christchurch. We are very pleased to introduce him as the newest member of our team.

HSOB Golf Tournament 2012At a time of the year when the weather can be so variable we were fortunate on Thursday 1 November to have conditions both suitable and pleasant for golf. The annual HSOB Golf Tournament was again held at the Waitikiri Golf Course which provided excellent fairways and improved greens. While not quite Ryder Cup level, the standard of play was very competitive.

A field of 56 players turned in some solid scoring with keen competition for the four main trophies. However Martin Hadlee swept to the front with a fine round of 77 and captured two of the four trophies.HSOB Assn Cup (Best Gross) Martin HadleeOld Boys Cup (Best Stableford) Brent SmallRay Pilkington Cup (2nd Stableford) Martin HadleeRugby Club Cup Richard Falloon

The trophies were presented by Ian Kennedy (1942-6), a long time supporter of this tournament.

Again great support came from out of town Old Boys, with players from Ashburton, Methven, Oxford and Sheffield. Also in Christchurch at the appropriate time was Hamish Anderson from Auckland. Headmaster Trevor McIntyre, in a four led by Nigel Barnett, confirmed he has not had much time off for golf, and did not worry the scorers too much.Close behind the cup winners were George Knight and Doug Sheldon, while a good round was also recorded by Vance Bishop, recently retired from the Judiciary.

All players received a prize and this is due to the continued support of our sponsors:Saunders & Co, SolicitorsMiller Gale & Winter, AccountantsM J Hadlee, Consulting ServicesClark Boyce & Co, SolicitorsD A Lewis & Co, FurnitureSpeights BreweriesPottery World

We see this tournament as a part of the Old Boys fabric but its continuation is dependant on an inflow of players. If you are a golfer please make an effort to be part of this very enjoyable day this year.

Simply ring George Knight (354 9506) or Graham Pilkington (358 4176) and you will be most welcome.

2013 Tournament is Waitikiri – Thursday 31 October.

Notes from SchoolYesterday the Chair of the Board of Trustees announced the appointment of Nic Hill, Deputy Rector of Waitaki Boys’ High School, as the new Headmaster of Christchurch Boys’ High School, just our eleventh Headmaster in the School’s 132 years. There is an honours board in the main foyer which lists past Heads; while most have served for about a decade, the longest serving by far was the revered Charles Bevan-Brown who held the position from 1884 for 37 years!

We look forward to formally welcoming Nic on June 10th and informally meeting with him in the coming weeks.

Last week we hosted the Governor-General, his Excellency Lieutenant-General the Right Honourable Sir Jerry Mateparae. Our Senior Monitor, Jake Miller, invited the Governor-General as part of Project Speak, has seen many national leaders meeting with and talking to our students. The Governor-General arrived to the applause of Year 10 and Year 11 boys and an impressive haka from our Te Reo Maori students and members of the rugby 1st XV.

The assembly, with the boys seated on the floor, was in the gymnasium as the Hall can no longer be used. Jake Miller’s introduction mentioned Sir Jerry’s entry into the army as a private and reviewed a fascinating life of adventure and achievement. The Governor-General’s comments on leadership and the importance of the individual within society were well received by the boys. The opportunity was taken to present caps to this year’s 1st XI cricket team, many of whom were members of the national secondary school’s Gillette Cup winning team to recognise Alex Hooper and Connor Stead who were named in the Junior Track Cycling World Championship team soon to compete in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, and Ben Ashby for his directing achievements in the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival that sees him progressing to further competition opportunities in Wellington.

Flu is a concern for the coming months and this year. In addition to all staff being pro-vided with the opportunity to have a free influenza injection, the Canterbury Public Health Nursing Service is doing the same for all students.

In the next few months the Ministry of Education will provide a school plan indicating what will be happening to our buildings and when. Repair and replacement is expected to cost in excess of twenty million dollars. Additionally money and work are needed to re-store the ANZAC shrine and the old Dean’s cowsheds that, in time, will become the school museum and our store for archives, these latter structures are owned by the school and are our responsibility to maintain. As mentioned previously, the School Hall and the Wilson Library must be demolished as they have been declared unsafe while the gymnasiums and the Caldwell blocks will be replaced as it is cheaper to do this than to put time and money into further developing the present buildings to meet new earthquake building codes.

The very generous offer of an Old Boy may see a 900 seat rugby stand built beside the 1st XV field. If this comes to fruition it will be a wonderful enhancement of the school fields.

At 7.30pm on May 6th in the School staffroom the Old Boys are holding their AGM. Hopefully you will consider coming along. Our very active and friendly Old Boys com-

mittee does a wonderful job supporting the school and its students, and reminding us of our rich past. While it is a pity they cannot attend, the School and local Old Boys are well-aware and very appreciative of those groups of past students who are further afield – around New Zealand, in Australian cities, in London and other places around the world.

A bit of data that might interest you as you think back to your days at school and perhaps of Deans Bush: Each year since 1999 our Year 10 students have completed a confidential nation-wide survey on smoking habits. In 1999 just 25% of our boys had never smoked – in 2012 that number is 68%. The proportion of ‘regular’ or ‘daily’ smokers has dropped to a third of the nearly 50% in 1999.

I hope to see many of you at our ANZAC service on Thursday April 25th, starting at 10am. Following the service all are very welcome to share in the morning tea provided by the school PTA.A few dates …Thursday 25th April ANZAC service, 10am in the Big RoomTuesday 28th May CBHS vs CC rugby match, 2.30pm at Rugby ParkBest wishes from the School.

Headmasters Report on the SchoolTrevor McIntyre gave his “Report on the School” of activities over the last 12 months.It is thanks to the foresight of the Old Boys Association and its members that the strength of the buildings stood up so well during the earthquakes. The Engineers stated that the School buildings were at 105% of the current building codes. Currently the School is unable to use either the Hall or the Library.The School had good academic results even in the event of the earthquakes. Ruben Brown achieved top Agricultural results.On the Cultural front there was no big production this year but it is hoped to do a play in the Big Room.Good results from all the sports teams: Cricket, Rugby, Soccer and Basketball.6 staff took leave during 2011. Retirements, Don Whelan, after 40 + years in teaching. Keith Thompson Careers Advisor and Ray Nicholson French & Chinese.Lisa Marr was appointed as Community Relation Officer in 2011 and has supported the Old Boys Association and liased with the School.The last 12 months have been directed at “A Fine young Man” during 2011 and the boys have responded well.Currently the School has nearly returned to normal due to the dedication of all the staff during what has been an extremely demanding year.

Te Kura Trust Report Colin Freeman reported that the Te Kura Trust was in good hands with Cran Bull as its chairman. It continues to operate as has done for the last 45 years with the sole beneficiary being the School. The financial position as at 31/12/11 went from $3.2 million down to $ 2.9 million but the decrease was all down to the current share value. The Trust made a paper loss of $130,00.00 but still had an income of $180,000.00 and continued its grants to School, $107,000.00 to the school and $42,000.00 given to School boys in scholarships and prizes making a total of $159,000.00.

18

Regarding investments of the Trust and the Association in the Shopping Centre, they are about to have a share issue of 1 share for 2 at $1.14 each, which will mean the Trust will have to find $400,000.00. The Trust will make a decision in the next few days and the Association will follow the Trust’s action.

Board of TrusteesChairman Mark Jordan gave his report which is attached to these minutes.

PTAJillian Broadbent reported that the PTA is trying to get all Old Boys to support the PTA. This year they are not able to donate as much to the School as usual because of the PTA’s commitment to the Community Relations Manager’s costs.The quiz night was a good fund raiser.The PTA organised and ran the School formal night.The telephone book distribution was again completed with good support from both the parents and the boys.Selling the cooking package, foil, gladwrap etc made $4,000.00 last year.

General BusinessDoug Archbold thanked Graham Russell on behalf of the Association for the work that he had done over the last year & the decision that the Association had made to support the new database.Those present showed their appreciation by acclamation.

Tribute to Jim WeirOld St Paul’s, Wellington, Friday 23 November 2012.I sat with Jim for around forty minutes. He was fragile but not, I thought then, so close to leaving us. We talked about families and friends, of colleagues and countries where he had served. Of a very full life he felt had been good to him. There had been many upsides, and probably some downsides. If there were disappointments and regrets he was not about to share them with me, let alone dwell on them. Nor had the old spark disappeared. The photo of a great–grandson had been placed alongside the bed where Jim could easily see it. It was of Fynn I believe. I observed he appeared a fine and handsome young man. “Well, he would be, wouldn’t he”, Jim replied with that familiar chuckle. The response came quick as a flash. He was positive to the last.

Yes he was ailing, but as I discovered not bereft of movement. A caring neighbour, Kristin Arthur, had brought some cookies in a plastic container. Jim sampled one and obviously enjoyed it. I broke up another and he took a slice. Then another, followed in short order by a third. I thought to myself, this might be too much of a good thing. So I discreetly moved the container to where I believed it would be out of harm’s way. Not so. I returned from locating a glass of water to find the container had somehow moved back to again be within comfortable reach, its contents visibly diminished. Not a word was said. A quiet smile, barely concealed, made plain who had come out top in that little tussle.

We talked about Jim’s latest book, his fifth, fresh from publication in Singapore. Titled Quotable New Zealand Quotes, it is the third in Jim’s published collection of New Zealand quotations. This one covers the last thirty or so years from the early eighties, roughly the period of Jim’s retirement. It was a time of profound change for our country, as we all know. It abounds in pithy utterances from the worlds of the arts, journalism, principally politics of course, but also from private enterprise and even on occasion from sporting heroes and the public sector. Some remarks that appealed to Jim were deliberate and prepared, many were spontaneous and the richer for it.

Applying his customary meticulous research, Jim had well and truly tapped that mother-lode of memorable sayings for this latest volume. He was unremitting in search of the felicitous phrase or better still the scurrilous, unrehearsed and infelicitous. I offered to find a way to give the book a small commercial plug, not anticipating the opportunity to do so would be in today’s context or come so quickly. You will find the volume a valuable resource and permanent record in one place of many of your favourite New Zealand quotes of recent years. It’s compulsive reading. I recommend it to you.

Jim’s anthologies complement what he published by way of personal reflections of his time in the field as a career diplomat.Those reminisences are captured well and very readably in Letters from Moscow and last year’s highly successful release, Eat, Drink and Be Wary. That last book provided reassuring evidence that the passing of the years had not taken toll of Jim’s formidable writing skills. Nor had they withered his sense of humour. He possessed an eye and ear that were ever alert to spot a source of hidden mirth. That was a worthy skill to have to ease the hassle that is part and parcel of the nomadic life of a seasoned diplomat.

As often as not Jim’s tales were told against himself, occasionally at the expense of others, but never unkindly so.

Jim had a near legendary talent among his peers for poking gentle fun when pomp and circumstance were over-played. His pen pictures of some very precious chiefs of protocol he encountered abroad are wee gems, as are his descriptions of the extraordinary ceremony and security arrangements that surrounded the funerals of such larger than life figures as Anwar Sadat and Marshall Tito.

There was one notable portrayal, especially evocative, which I hope I may be forgiven for recalling in this hallowed hall. It was of Jim being served endless cups of tea in a Middle Eastern capital by an aide, under whose flowing robe there lurked a long-barrelled and very prominent revolver, waving about, Jim said ‘like a penis on the prowl’.

Jim was marvellously adept at singling out some special features of the expatriate existence abroad, of the character building experience of coping with the stubbornness of local staff and household help firmly set in their ways, or playing the role of father-confessor to seconded personnel passing through a personal trauma. Or, again, the time taken before the immediacy of modern communication to extract a response from head office: “People in Wellington don’t seem to understand how difficult things can be beyond Tawa” was a common refrain.

On a more serious note, to the nation’s lasting benefit Jim was one of a small band of our old diplomatic ‘hands’ who have found the time and energy to write publicly and objectively about their careers and to maintain that interest into retirement. To their credit this has meant producing a major work or contributing regular and credible analysis and comment on exter-nal issues of serious consequence to the country. In that exacting arena, Jim enjoyed being in the company of respected former colleagues such as Bruce Brown and Terence O’Brien, Chris Elder, Bryce Harland and Gerald Hensley, Gerald McGhie and Denis McLean, Michael Powles, and the Templetons, Malcolm and Hugh. The late Michael Green, bless him, was close to joining the group. Joanna Woods holds a unique place among that bunch of blokes, she and some of them are with us today.

Jim shared with his fellow authors an enviable ability to capture in a few words the core of a complex argument or the essence of a host country’s approach on a particular topic. His reporting from overseas missions on things that mattered to New Zealand was exemplary; crisp, thorough, objective and to the point. His valedictory reports on leaving a post were models of their kind and enormously helpful to those who followed him.

The early years of Jim’s long career were spent as part of the beloved “Mac’s”, Alister McIntosh’s original External Affairs team in old Parliament Buildings. He was there when the question was still being asked “Why does this country need a diplomatic service?”. When prompted, or even when not, Jim would give a colourful account of what it meant to be present in the first years after the creation of the fledgling department that was later transformed into the modern ministry. Jim would happily relive memories of such treasured institutions as the tearoom and the typing pool. His perspective and that of others in that founding group was much influenced by the expectation that the tyranny of distance would always impede New Zealand’s best efforts to engage with the world outside, an expectation

now largely but only lately removed. Practitioners of the diplomatic craft come in many guises. Just glance about you. For some, the buzz of the job is from being a part of the process at home of formulating

foreign policy. For others the most rewarding part of their chosen career and where they are at their peak is the time they spend overseas, on the frontline, where the focus is on the cut and thrust involved in putting foreign policy into place. Jim was that type of practitioner. He filled several senior roles at home but more than half his working life was committed abroad. Jim relished the challenge of arguing New Zealand’s case in day-to-day dealings with host governments, and at times when called for he did this as well and effectively in multilateral forums.

His overseas career began in the early fifties in Canberra. At the time something of a mate-rial and cultural wilderness, what Jim described as ‘seven suburbs in search of a city’. But it was a posting that he and his cherished Mollie always thereafter regarded as one of their most enjoyable. Even in those formative years Jim appreciated before many others did how vitally important for New Zealand the Canberra connection would be in uncertain times ahead.

There followed, at rising levels of responsibility but not in this order, appointments or cross-accreditations or substantial time spent in capitals and cities as diverse as Cairo, Sin-gapore and Kuala Lumpur where he was high commissioner to both countries, New York at the UN Mission, Port Moresby and Malta, Rangoon as it was and Riyadh, finally to Rome, as Ambassador, from whence he and Mollie moved into their well-earned retirement.

Jim was always loath to let an opportunity to promote New Zealand pass by. Tom Larkin recalled for me an occasion when the late Sir Howard Morrison travelled to Singapore, during Jim’s time there, to lift the Wool Board’s profile. Rather curiously guests felt, given Singapore’s notorious steamy climate, Howard was clothed for his concert in a fairly heavy woollen sweater. He concluded one song visibly perspiring, if you’re wondering why I am wearing this jersey it’s because the High Commissioner insisted I do, and it’s killing me”.

At home and offshore Jim was closely involved with many of the major issues of the day that confronted New Zealand during his career. They included coming to terms with Britain’s military withdrawal east of Suez, finding our way among the tangled web of new regional relationships that emerged after the Vietnam War. managing the endless wrangling in Brus-sels and other capitals over continued access into European markets for our dairy and meat products. And the achievement for which he should perhaps be best remembered: the hands-on experience and responsibility he carried, more than did many of his peers, in pioneering the establishment of a meaningful New Zealand presence in parts previously unknown or overlooked; in South-east Asia of course but also in North Africa and the Middle East.

In all that he did over many years to the country’s advantage, Jim exemplified the “New Zealandish-ness” qualities that his first boss, Alister McIntosh, admired and sought in those he recruited. In his personal and professional life, at home and away, Jim Weir exhibited the qualities that have distinguished the very best of our New Zealand representatives:

Rest well old friend, Brian Lynch.

John Leversedge 1951-1055Educational standards seemed to be slipping in the 1970s, John confronted the problem. The multi-faceted teacher loved a challenge. He launched the Back to Basics move-ment in Christchurch. This group of like minds, with no formal structure, campaigned and lobbied for retention of ‘tried and true’ teaching methods.

John was co-ordinator of the Educational Standards Association. His advocacy brought him up against education authorities. He never sought the prominence this brought him but he enjoyed arguing his case.

John backed up his words with action, by setting up a publishing firm to produce maga-zines for children.

John taught at primary and intermediate levels from 1958 to 1985, apart from a short time lecturing in English as a second language at a teacher’s college in Fiji. He took this position on completion of his MA, choosing between it and the NZ Army with the rank of major.

Always energetic and enthusiastic, he followed other pursuits while teaching, from building an upper storey for his house to devising a camera housing that allowed him to photograph the under-water world of Fiji. He worked as a maitre d’ at Warners Hotel, simply because he loved meeting interesting people. A result of this was British explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes becoming a friend.

John took real estate exams, got into property investment and consulting and launched property magazine Estate. He loved travelling and wrote articles on his journeys for maga-zines and newspapers. He worked in the evenings as a proof reader at The Press.

John’s standing as an editor opened opportunities to join media groups and invitations to experience diverse ventures. These ranged from an Antarctic visit to participation in the 1983 Rugby Media Congress in South Africa. One trip took John and his wife to The Ritz in London. Offering to share a magnum of champagne with a couple dining at a nearby table there brought an invitation to meet the Queen at a Buckingham Palace garden party. It turned out one of the fellow diners was a British MP with the power to pull strings.

People were attracted to John by his friendly demeanour and calmly authoritative voice. They found in him a modest but generous spirit and a lack of malice. They found also a strong intellect, sharp interest in the world and a determination to get things right – especially in English grammar and usage.

John was interested in sport but restricted active participation in his youth to fencing and shooting and croquet in retirement.

Although sociable, John was happiest at home with his family and always put them first.

Tom McGuigan 1934-36Tom was a committed and active Labour man most of his adult life but spent only two terms in Parliament. He was a strong supporter of Norman Kirk and won early promotion to Cabinet, but when Muldoon’s National Party swept to power in 1975, Tom was washed away.

Tom was born in Christchurch and attended Opawa Primary School and CBHS before studying accounting at Christchurch Technical College.

When World War II broke out Tom joined the Canterbury Yeomanry Cavalry, a territorial army unit, and was promoted to sergeant. He transferred to the navy in 1943, was commissioned as a lieutenant and served overseas.

After the war Tom and his wife Ruth settled in Christchurch, where Tom worked in hospital administration. He immersed himself in Labour Party matters, saying his unease at the gap between officers and men in the armed forces had reinforced his egalitarian views.

Tom first stood for Lyttelton in 1954. He fought the election keenly and came up only 24 votes short. The loss disheartened him and he did not try again until 1969. This was successful and when Tom was re-elected in Labour’s 1972 landslide, he was rewarded with immediate elevation to cabinet and made Minister of Railways, Electricity and Civil Defence in the new Labour Government. He was later given the portfolio he most wanted – Health. He had little more that a year to prove himself before National’s 1975 election victory. Even so, he oversaw completion of the White Paper on Health which recommended partly elected district health boards, and approved a cardio-thoracic unit for Christchurch Hospital.

Sickened by Muldoon’s personal attacks on Labour members, especially Rowling, whom he greatly admired, he stood down from Parliament and made no further attempt of re-enter it.

However, he remained an active Labour man for many years.He told The Press in 2001: ‘I still believe firmly that essential services which operated

successfully for many years should have remained in the hands of the people, that is, the Government.’

Tom continued to work in the public health sector. He rose to senior management posi-tions at Christchurch and Princess Margaret hospitals and served on several statutory boards, including the North Canterbury Hospital Board and the New Zealand Board of management consultancy.

A keen football fan, he was president of the NZ Football Association and secretary of the Canterbury Football Association. He was a JP for nearly 50 years.

Sir Kerry Burke says Tom was ‘a precise sort of person for detail, ‘when he relaxed he had a lively sense of humour and a lovely personality.’

Sir Ewan Jamieson 1944History might suggest that Sir Ewan Jamieson was on the wrong side of one of the defining debates of New Zealand’s national identity of the past 30 years.

Ewan was a high profile casualty of sorts in the extraordinary con-troversy that surrounded the then Labour government’s decision to declare New Zealand off-limits to nuclear ship visits in 1984-85. That controversy culminated in the refusal to allow entry to the American destroyer USS Buchanan, in February 1985, and the subsequent col-lapse of the Anzus defence treaty with the United States and Australia.

As the chief of defence staff at the time, Ewan was central to the diplomatic wrangling and resulting standoff over the policy. As his friend and colleague Gerald Hensley recalled, Ewan’s deftness in his role nearly avoided the long lasting rift between New Zealand and its ally.

In consultation with then prime minister David Lange – whose office Hensley headed – Ewan was charged with identifying an obviously non-nuclear-capable US Navy ship the government could invite, to avoid a crisis with the Americans. The Buchanan was settled on and apparently accepted by Lange but the government still refused it entry.

Hensley said if the government had stuck with the plan, Ewan could have claimed credit for avoiding the collapse in US-New Zealand relations. He argued that Ewan’s stance was ultimately vindicated, given that the country had spent the next 25 years trying to repair the relationship.

But the former defence chief could never be accused of resiling from his conviction that the country’s anti-nuclear stance was part of a wider failure in its defence strategies.

His philosophical disagreements with the policy led to his departure from the armed forces when he refused to accept an extension to his term as defence chief in 1986. He wanted, he said later, to be free to take part in the public debate. That he did, becoming a familiar commentator in the news media over the next 20 years on matters of defence spending and strategy. He soon became a target for his views, including infamously when Lange claimed Ewan had acted as an agent for an American missilemaker – one of several occasions when critics had to apologise to him for wrong accusations.

Even Lange eventually acknowledged that Ewan was impeccably professional. He had been ‘a formidably correct chief of defence staff’, and absolutely honest and straightforward.

Ewan’s military career was dominated by his time with the Royal New Zealand Air Force, a career path he traced back to the occasional, captivating sighting of aircraft while growing up in rural Central Otago. He joined the air force in May, 1949, and spoke of the sobering effect of an exchange posting to Germany in 1954 and witnessing the corrosive, lingering effects of World War II.

He had moved into command postings by the late 1950s and to Defence Headquarters in 1978. He was appointed air vice-marshall and head of the RNZAF in 1979, and became air marshal and chief of defence staff in 1983.
