I was very fortunate that Andrea was my tutor in my tutorial class in the Stage 1 Sociology course at the University of Canterbury in the 1980s. She was professional and helpful, and she gave me an A for at least one of my essays.

I spent many a happy time in the Baker household as a boy and young man, and was always welcomed warmly. Mrs Baker was a big part of that, and her encouragement over those early years made such a difference. I know she lived a rich and long life, and I hope that she rests in peace and my condolences to her family.
