About this recording
David More talks about his education in Wick during WW2, when he attended school in various locations throughout the town. He was awarded the dux medal for French and Latin but was influenced, by his favourite teacher John Ross, to study geography at Edinburgh University. This ultimately led to teaching geography for eight years in Nigeria, prior to taking up a post at Wick High School.
He recalls his friendship with Magnus Houston and the time spent at the Mill at John OGroats where he became aware of the changing seasons linked to farming, which proved to be beneficial when studying geography.
David reflects upon his time in the RAF, his work for the Labour Party, the many years spent as Scout Master in Wick as well as his involvement in amateur dramatics with Wick Players. David also recalls the many years he was involved in the church and his time spent as Session Clerk.
David passed away in 2022.
