RIP Arthur I only learnt of your passing last night on social Media, on a post for your great teachers - thank you for teaching me woodwork and Tech Drawing at Kings, the stuff you taught us in such a short time before I left Kings has helped through my life as DIY - thanks for the encouragement to join the NZDF way back in 1988, of all the teachers at Kings you were the only one who wished me luck and told me to have a ball and enjoy - I did for 23 years. I never got back to say thank in person, I returned to Dunedin in 2017 but was told you were in Southland on your yacht .

Fair winds and following seas shippers RIP
