Memories of Mike Hanson

I know that all staff who worked with Mike during his time at Doon will have their own memories. My own memories include:

• His wonderful attempts to beat 1000 miles per gallon at the Shell Mileage Marathon - from memory he achieved 960 mpg
• His annual paper aeroplane competition.
• Building his own car which he drove to school for several years
• Building a recumbent cycle which he pedalled to school one day.
• Going on an exchange year to America.
• His fascination with boomerangs and his ability to inspire students with his passion for his subject - it was nice to see several of his former students at the funeral
• His wonderful photograph which was published in several national newspapers showing the complete flight of a boomerang in the night sky over Drongan!
• Introducing cribbage to Doon Academy.
• His eco friendly ‘Christmas Cards’
  

Mike was delivering a Curriculum for Excellence 20 years ago! He will be sadly missed.
