    About

    Glamis. M. Niederer(DipAg.(44-45), Dip.V.F.M.(1949))

    Alumnus Glamis Niederer, who died in Queensland, Australia, on 25 November 2013, aged 87, lived with distinctive names. The surname is of  central European origin and in an unpublished autobiography From Gorge Road to Surfers Glamis (or Glam as he was better known) explained his parents named him after Glamis Castle in Scotland. It was the birthplace of the Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother) who was touring New Zealand with the Duke of York (later King George VI) at the time of his birth. With six children already in the family, suggestions for names were canvassed when the new baby arrived.

    Glamis was born in Invercargill on 30 October 1926, and his parents farmed at Gorge Road south-east of the city. He attended Otago Boys' high School in Dunedin and entered Lincoln College as a Rural Field Cadet in 1944, completing a DipAg and DipVFM (1949). 

    After graduation he worked for the State Advances Corporation (later Rural Bank) for 20 years and rose to District Appraiser in Invercargill. He then moved to Southland Farmers' Co-Operative Association and subsequently became General Manager of JE Watson Ltd, later part of Yates Corporation. Positions held during his career include President of the NZ Society of Farm Management in Southland.

    In the late 1981s Glam and his wife Lurline moved to Australia, ostensibly in retirement, but he became involved in managing properties in Queensland and eventually took up Australian citizenship. (Source: Landform 2015 P58)

     

    Note: His surname was spelt 'Neiderer' elsewhere.
