Huntly Duff Fyvie (1904 - 1982)
as I recall
I only remember Hunt when I grew older as a child and then
as an adult.
He had a presence about him. He was a good farmer and I
especially remember him tending the Angus [?] cattle in the
Bull Pens at "Fyvie" and at the Royal and Rand shows where
he won so many trophies for his string of cattle exhibited
there. He was quite a serious character, he dressed well
and presented a good impression. When I was younger I especially
remember him going about his work with the poultry. He was
quiet, hardworking and dedicated.
David Fowler, who was Clive Fyvie's grandson, inherited
Fyvie from Hunt. David was always an interested young boy
(especially in farming) and built up quite a unique relationship
with Hunt. Hunt got to know David from the days he stayed
with my parents in Howick, during the Royal Show and time
spent on the farm.
