  • Ian Gardner . Commented on John (Grafton) Riminton

    I think I added, a few days ago, his details to the estates he was on as PD i.e. Forres, Glenlyon and Tangakelle. I have no idea why he quit planting so early in his life but, perhaps, he and Julian Nelson-Parker discussed it when he took over Tangakelle from Julian. Julian left planting at the time but he had reached retiring age (55 Years). A very nice man, Julian! - my second PD on Tangakelle.

  • Bryan Baptist . Commented on E.L. (Ernie) Daniels

    Ernie Daniels is a man whose vast knowledge in Tea Plantation Agriculture and the results he has produced seems that he has no equal in his area of activity. He was a great 'teacher' and his deep passion for tea instilled this knowledge in all those who were trained by him and those who came to know him in the course of his long career. He has contributed so much to our Tea Industry and I would say he is "Evergreen". He is a man of the highest integrity and his honesty is unquestionable. My experiences in interacting with Mr Daniels reflect fond memories as I dealt with a Gentleman of the Highest Order. He is my ex-father-in law who I have the greatest reapect for.
