Thread: Coote from Nelson

Yes... I knew Pat Win. He was the engineering teacher and a pretty good bloke. Alan Walker was another teacher who got involved with the shooting at college. Jim Upton was the college caretaker for a while, but prior to that he was a sargeant-major (I think) in the NZ Army. I remember participating in a shoot where he was in charge and he tuned me up for 'palming' my bolt. Did you go to Nelson College 6 x 47?

Yeh, by co-incidence. I wasn't one of Pat's boys but you may recall being beaten in .303 shooting. Not that I'm gloating That's a looong time ago.
