Later followed, both in collaboration, Edgewood Teachers' Training College (1960s), now UKZN Edgewood campus, and the Westville Prison (1970s). Reg was an exact contemporary of Gordon SMALL (1927-1995) with whom he studied, and besides practice, was a soccer player and a coach of note, as well as a ballroom dancer. Like Gordon, he was a 'larger than life' character, remembered by many. (Obituary, Neil HAYES-HILL, KZNIA Journal.
