Guy Gifford

Guy Gifford began teaching at Mairehau High School in Christchurch, New Zealand but steadily moved north to Whanganui City College where he teamed up with David Dowling in the English Department. His most productive and enjoyable teaching experiences were on two exchanges to Canada where the lack of uniforms, semester timetabling and emphasis on graduation appealed. An amateur musician and DIY builder, he has constructed several boats and houses, some of which survive to this day. He is retired in Whanganui and struggles to keep up with his several grandchildren.
