From: Jacqueline (Jacquie ) Senning
Relation: Mrs. Bell was my teacher

I have just now learned of Mrs. Bell’s death and wish to extend my condolences to her family. I was a grade two pupil of Mrs. Bell’s and grew up in Silverton with Colin and Walther, her sons. I have many fond memories of Mrs.Bell and will never forget her. I recall saying it wasn’t possible to pare an apple without breaking the skin –a question in our workbook–and was advised to go home and ask my mother to do it!! She was a wonderful teacher and a great human being!
