Company description

She was born in Durban in 1931 of gentle Scottish parents. She spent her school years in Johannesburg and married Colin in 1950. When her fifth child entered kindergarten, while they were living in Windhoek, she studied through UNISA, obtaining her BA and then H.Dipl Lib in 1975, and became Children's Librarian in Pinetown, Natal. (Confusing, but all part of the travels necessitated by Colin's career.)
Over the years she has worked as a shorthand/typist, bookkeeper, personnel officer, store manager, speech teacher, English adviser to a Rabbi, and the final career was as a kennel maid. In fact, she did anything that would bring in a bit of extra cash to cope with the demands of growing children. She is now retired and living on a mountain outside Tzaneen in Limpopo, with her husband, youngest son, Dion, three dogs and a cat.
