VALE KENNETH WILLIAM [BILL] SHUGG, 1925-2009

摘要

National presidents rarely spring from Tasmania; you can count them on one hand - R. S. Smith, 1944-46; K. W. Shugg, 1971-72; J. S. Allom, 1991-92. Bill Shugg was rare. In an interview with The Australian in 1971, he denounced most of the talk of doomsday as "hogwash" and declared war on "wafflers". He was forty-five at the time and was the newly elected national president of the then Royal Australian Institute of Architects and was awarded a life fellowship the following year.
