Ian, in 1968, welcomed this shy, young Pom to Old Boys. I will forever be grateful to him for the way he helped me fit in to my new life in NZ. RIP Ian.

Ian, you were one of the true greats. Always generous with your time, a good yarn at the ready, and a smile that lit up the room. You will be deeply missed by so many, but especially by the rowing community you gave so much to. Thank you and rest easy now.
