Violet (Miss Clegg to me) was my teacher at River Heights School in 1951 and 1952. I was six years old. I remember her as one of my very favorite teachers. She was always smiling and never critical. She wrote "Lovely numbers Teddy", on something I had submitted and it made my day. A life of teaching well lived and, I'm sure, remembered by many. - Posted by: Ted McLean (Former student of Miss Clegg's, 1952) on: Sep 15, 2014
