No Liz , unfortunately I didn't know her, but obviously the infants at Verdala were lucky to have been served by such a very special person.

Yes, amazing couple aren't they David! I don't suppose you remember Vera North if you weren't an infant at Verdala?!

'Vera' is Vera North - former head of Verdala Infants in late 50s early 60s and now 96! Lovely to hear her. Could be on 'Listen Again'?

Just happened to hear on Radio 4's 'Listening Project' - 'Vera and Betty from Hay-on-Wye' talking about their charity for local young people....... .

If any OVs, living in or visiting Malta feel like 'giving something back', the 'Friends of Villa Frere' are always on the lookout for volunteers ....

Sorry David - absolutely no recollection!!

Hi Liz, Then perhaps I've got it wrong. Thought you mentioned two ladies working on a history, but not ex Verdalans. Don't know where I got it from??
