We are proud of the fact that this "Karangahake Old Boy" has held important executive positions with the Council for 40 years. Born at Thames in 1903 he came with his family to the Rahu Road before he was a year old. Alf attended first the Mackaytown and then the Karangahake School, completing his education at Thames High School. He was appointed Assistant County Clerk in 1919, and in 1932 was promoted to be County Clerk and Treasurer, a position which he has filled with distinction for the last 27 years. (Other members of his family are Jessie, Bill (a Supervisor in the Paeroa Telephone Exchange) and Lillian).
