Eleanor Stanier, lively as a neighborhood organiser and councillor in Richmond upon Thames, taught me historical past between 1966 and 1968. Together with her blond hair and brilliant purple mini costume she naturally stood out in a standard ladies’ grammar faculty. She was probably the most inspirational instructor, imparting nice enthusiasm for her topic.
After she left to have her first youngster, she was variety sufficient to jot down to congratulate me on my examination outcomes. I’ve by no means forgotten her.
