I used to be a member of Operation Deep Freeze back in the early eighties.?

I am trying to remember the name of the guy who used to hang out in Christchurch Square during lunch time and lecture and raise a little hell, he was a seriously smart guy and no matter what subject he got started on if you threw him a curveball, as in an odd question, either on the subject he was on or something new he could argue rings around you. I want to say he was nick-named the proffesor but i am almost sure that was not it, little help please. By the way, N.Z. is one of the greatest places i have ever been, Beeyouteeful country, same goes for the ladies. I hope to visit again someday.

He is and will always be 'The Wizard'. Dressed in a Clerical Gown and black Hat, beard ... could have walked right out of a Harry Potter book. Wonderful guy.

He's retired, but i'm sure he's still stirring up merry hell where he's living now. The Square now has a market, with lots of tourist items. Unfortunately no Farmer's Market in the summer time ... sighs!

You're welcome back any time. I have a Deep Freeze 'medal' so we can see who will buy the first drink lol. Btw USA is the greatest place I've ever visited - and tonnes more to explore.

He is called The Wizard.
Come to think of it I haven't heard much about him for sometime now.
