Assisting Cliff Saxton were these two hard cases, David Smith and Mark McDonald, surveyors' assistants. Both are single. David was educated at Rutherford High School, Auckland, and has been with Staig and Smith for 18 months. His interests: a beer or two, a girl or two and vocalising (our interpretation). Mark is 16 and has been with the firm six months. He came to Nelson from Havelock 10 years ago and now lives at Richmond. His interests include Rugby, shooting and water skiing.
