Torchy Atkinson
John Dunstan "Torchy" Atkinson OBE (3 March 1909 – 27 February 1990) was a New Zealand horticultural scientist and scientific administrator. Atkinson was born in Wellington, New Zealand on 3 March 1909. His father was the solicitor (1874–1917), and his mother was Mary Herrick Atkinson (née Hursthouse). He was known as Duncan by his family, but friends and colleagues almost all referred to him as Torchy for his red hair, and the name stuck even after he had turned grey. New Zealand's tenth Premier, Sir Harry Atkinson, was his grandfather.
