In 1978/79 l was completing my honours year. Dr Sutherland was my Director of Studies. He was such a wonderful teacher, offering kindness and encouragement in abundance. He linked me with his connections at the Max Plank Research Institute in Freiburg Germany where l enjoyed working for a year after l left university. Thank you Dr Sutherland.
