Riwai Tawhiri Mr Riwai Te Hiwinui Tawhiri died in Gisborne last September at the age of 90. He was the last surviving Te Aute College contemporary of Sir Peter Buck. Mr Tawhiri studied at Nelson Theological College, and although ordained a deacon of the Anglican Church, became a school-teacher and taught at Maori schools in Northland, Waikato and the East Coast. He was one of the first Maoris to become a headmaster. Music and tennis were two of his major interests. During his retirement, Mr Tawhiri lived in Auckland, returning to Gisborne only three months before he died. While in Auckland, he told his story of ‘The Lost Finger’ to Harry Dansey, and it was published in our issue 63. Mr Tawhiri is survived by two sons.
