FLASHBACK FRIDAY
With the official opening next Thursday of the new Tolson Centre, housing OSCA House, the Scotch Archives & Museum, we look back to our first Scotch archivist and past OSCA President Geoff Tolson (’39).
The following excerpt is taken from “With a Keen But Loving Eye: a Centenary History of the Old Scotch Collegians’ Association 1913 – 2013” written by Bruce Brown (’60).
"Geoff Tolson grew up with a deep love for Scotch. His father had been a signaller for (Sir) John Monash at Gallipoli in 1915 and young Tolson entered the Scotch Junior School in 1930. On leaving Scotch in 1939 he began a successful career in electrical and illumination engineering. Meanwhile for over 40 years he had maintained a remarkable network of school friends, including Garth Tapp (1939) and Jim Shaw (1941), as well as a deep commitment to OSCA, culminating in his year as President in 1983.
In 1984, he had retired and was perfectly placed to accept an invitation to become the School Archivist. From 1985 to 1992 he worked feverishly to establish the Archives, and undertook post-graduate studies to enhance the quality of his work. His regular articles in Great Scot provided insights into the School’s rich heritage. With his inimitable sense of humour, visits to the Scotch Archives were enjoyable experiences"

I can remember the day Garth Tapp (my boss) told me that Geoff was going to be appointed Archivist!
