Brian
was recognised as a Paul Harris Fellow for his role in the Bela-Bela community,
particularly in recognition of his contribution to the establishment of the Settlers
Agricultural High School.
"The area was badly in need of an agricultural high school," Brian says. "I was so persistent that the Transvaal Education Department eventually relented. In 1969 the finishing touches were put to the school."
The School Committee offered to name the school after him, but he declined. Later, however, one of the boarding establishments was named after him. Click HERE to read more.
Brian is the last surviving Charter Member of the Rotary Club of Warmbaths. He was inducted on 10 May 1962.
