Alex Joosten (Treasurer)<\/strong>
I was drawn to engineering as a four-year-old, when my father left me in
the operator\u2019s chair in the TV transmitter room in Armagh Street, Christchurch, with strict instructions not to move and don\u2019t touch anything while he left to do something important.  More about Alex<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony Silke<\/strong>
Tony started in the State Hydro Electric Department in 1954 as a pimply faced hydro-electric apprentice in Nelson District. He was probably the worst apprentice that the Department turned out and now hides away the district records that would support this. More about Tony<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
