    About

    Mr Richard (Dick) Alan Fougere Dip Ag. (1921) died at Hutt Hospital on 14 April, 1990. 

    Mr Fougere came to Lincoln from his home in the Chatham Islands in 1919 and completed the Diploma Course in 1921. He was a staff member (engineer and farm manager) from 1927 to 1936. In 1932 he married a College secretary, Beryl Rose who died in 1985.

    In the 'do it yourself' era of the 1920s, Dick Fougere was 'Mr Fixit'. Blair records in his 'Life and Work at Canterbury Agricultural college' that Fougere's versatile ability and full understanding of every student whim made him the ideal manager for the farm as it was in his time. Dick Fougere enjoyed an esteem probably not exceeded by any farm manager.

    He resigned in 1936 and joined the Valuation Department and retired in 1959. In retirement he spent much time giving help to the Crippled Children’s Society.

    Mr Fougere is survived by a daughter and son. (Obtiuary: 1990 Alumni Magazine, p77)
