Great article Lyn. When I arrived at Christchurch Boys High School as Headmaster in 2003, Frank was one of our great team of day relievers. He was a wonderful character and the boys loved having him if one of their regular teachers was away. The teachers who were away weren’t quite as enthusiastic! The boys knew full well if they asked ... “ Mr Cameron tell us about the test v South Africa in .... “ at the start of the lesson that very little of the work that the regular teacher left got done! I used to appease the staff by saying that Franks stories were most likely more valuable than the work they left anyway 😂
A very interesting read, Lynn. Thanks.
