 1970 saw Cresswell visiting Segerberg in Finland (on the shores of the Baltic at Villa Wolax, the gracious 19th century summerhouse that the Segerbergs were renting from the von Wright family). Cresswell and Segerberg gathered mushrooms in the forest and spoke of logic in New Zealand. It was an auspicious meeting. When Montgomery died, at the tragically early age of 53, Cresswell proposed Segerberg for the Auckland chair. The Segerbergs remember getting a call from New Zealand ‘in the middle of the night’. The job came ‘on a silver platter’, Segerberg said. After a brief visit in 1979, Segerberg moved to Auckland in 1980. He found that New Zealand logic was ‘in a vibrant state’.
