She said -
"Although I have lived in the U.S.A. (Michigan) for 42 years, I have never forgotten those early years spent in Wick, and on almost every overseas trip I pay a visit to Caithness. Now, thanks to your website, I can "visit" as often as I wish!"
"The class photograph taken at the North School in 1937--the year it opened I believe. When war broke out in 1939, the school became a hospital and the students had to attend Pulteneytown Academy. The girl seated third from the left in the front row, Elizabeth Cameron, was killed during the 1940 air-raid.
