Talk:Vince Gair - Wikipedia Talk:Vince Gair Contents 1 Gair Park 2 Gair's middle name 3 His Excellency the Ambassador 4 Assessment comment Gair Park [ edit] This says Gair Park was opened in 1936. Gair didn't become Premier till 1952, so it's very unlikely it would have been named after him until after 1952, and so it must have had an earlier name.
