A warm and valued teacher and fine man, my time at RMIT in the Architecture School was made all the more enjoyable through the experiences, friendship and that unforgetable camping trip to the Grampians in 1974, the snow trip with our class to Mt Buffalo. I still have some of my marked work from John and get them out now and again to give me some encouragement. A sad loss and may I forward my condolences to Nita, Susy and Stephen. I did have a chance to talk to John about 6 weeks ago He seemed upbeat and positive, he had a good laugh at what we all got up to the the school.
