50th Anniversary Reunion

 

 

Hilary A.C. Fraser (Updated Bio 25/05/24)

At the time of the1964 Class re-union (1989), I was in the Physics Department of St. Mirin’s and St. Margaret’s School in Paisley.   That school effectively closed in 1990 and I thought I was winding down in accepting a part-time post at St. Columba’s, a private school in Kilmacolm. However this was not to be as the Head of Physics soon retired on medical grounds and I found myself in his very full-time post. I retired from there in June 2004.

I returned briefly to teaching Biology for a couple of years in Corseford Special school in Johnstone.   They were very desperate!

I carried on a little work for the SQA but I am now enjoying life mostly as a full-time granny. I am now physically smaller than 6 large grandchildren, and bigger than one.

I thought retirement might allow me to take up golf again but I have not got round to that yet.  
I am trying to keep cycling and still hill-walk a bit.   I have about 100 Munros ticked but doubt if I’ll live long enough to complete them.
 
I am still learning to play bridge
, and managing my personal decline reasonably so far, while wondering how I ever had time to work.
