My mother was a schoolteacher and prior to the war she taught at St Peters. But you come across the social changes when I say this, because as soon as people like her got married she could no longer teach. And, so that is what happened. But when it came to 1940 with so many people leaving, and so many teachers leaving, there was then a real shortage. I think it was a Mr. Winterflood who was secretary of the Board of Education over here who phoned her up and asked if she could go and teach. And she taught in a little school called Galaad, which is by the current church. In fact it is part of their schoolroom now, and that is where I went to school, probably about 1941, that鈥檚 where I started.
