In the photographs, I am the cub in the middle at the back; I am now seventy-six with great memories of those days when she was the inspirational and energetic Akela of our pack. Cub meetings on Friday evenings were great times.
She was also a, aspirational school teacher, just what is required at junior school age. With that start, I went on to graduate, prior to postgraduate level - all from that very sound start.
I am sure, like me, she had the knowledge that she was setting pupils on a course for their future. My teaching was at secondary level and it is a great feeling.
Like all successful careers, they require sound foundations and that was due to the patient, diligent work of teachers like Moira Bell.
My grateful thanks and many happy memories.

I know Moira was a fantastic person and she continues to live through her wonderful children and in particular Gillian, whom I am very fortunate to count as my dear friend. She can be so proud of her!
