Did Terry used to teach at Wgtn Polytech aka Massey Wellington? If so, I still owe him a debt of gratitude. I was one of his Economic Environment students back in 1993. I did very badly at most of my subjects. But, thanks to Terry, I passed Economics. He improved my confidence on October 26th when we all got back test papers he'd marked. I'd only scored 21 1/4 out of 50. But he thought I could have done a lot better. So he told me - in front of everyone else - he thought I was brighter than that. And I should give myself more credit, and try harder. He was notorious among other students at the time for being "too cynical". But I realise now it was more like Tough Love. And it worked! I passed the 1993 Economics final exam after all. So I was very sorry to hear about his passing. And I wish more Polytechnic tutors had been like Terry!
