Training (continued)
Bruce was to continue in this position until September 1974 although in 1969 he took leave of absence to work in the training program of WMO. He left in 1974 on a WMO project aimed at upgrading the Meteorological Service of Iran. Bruce continued to work for WMO until his retirement, numbering among his many achievements the writing of WMO training publications.When Bruce arrived, the Training School was heavily involved in training or retraining various grades of meteorologist, weather officer and observer. The number of cadet meteorologists in training at this time was 43 of whom nine were females. Item 314 in volume 44 of Weather News, March 1960, indicates trainees included Rosea Boyd, Bob Brook, Barbara Daniel, Bill Downey, Doug Gauntlett, Peter Noar, Peter Price and John Zillman. The item mentions that John Zillman had gained excellent results in his university course and was proceeding with an honours degree in 1960.
Keith Morley joined the Training School in January 1960 and remained there until his retirement because of ill health after sixteen years during which he endeared himself to staff and students.
