Twenty-five years ago, TAFE manager Tom Haig wrote a poem out on a piece of paper, deposited it in a plastic tube, sealed and buried it for the next generation to find.

Last Thursday, Mr Haig – now a celebrant and councillor – was there again as the time capsule was dug up at a celebration of 100 years of vocational education in Murray Bridge.
