Patricia Ann Margaret MacPherson(1943-2013) BBHS 1957-62 I joined the class in second year (from Morrison's Academy, Crieff); not high profile, often to be found skulking in Mr Rodger's art room. I have always been called Pam, from my initials (P.A.M.) but at school was known by my proper name, Patricia. My family left Fife in 1963, since when I have been back only once. Have lost contact with all classmates. Moved to England in 1968, lived in various places before settling permanently in Chesterfield, Derbyshire in 1978, on the edge of the glorious Peak District. Retired infant teacher, married to Malcolm (Higgins) with a son, daughter & one grandson. I retired from teaching in 2002 to devote more time to our interest in showing and breeding Border Terriers - an activity we got into completely by accident, having bought two as pets, and then finding out that one was a good show prospect. Buoyed up by success, we were soon travelling all over the UK on the show circuit. Despite their teddy bear appearance, these intelligent little animals are real hard men - the Commandos of the dog world. Originally bred to flush foxes out of their holes, they would stay underground for days with their quarry. They don't know the meaning of fear. Living with a pack can be quite challenging - but we have no vermin in our garden! Pam took ill with pneumonia in 2011 and was ill for two years, being nursed at home by her husband. She died on 4 April 2013.

Kate McQuittyKate McQuitty, who graduated in Law in 1995 and went into training with an Aberdeen-based firm, Ledingham and Chalmers, was to have an unusual opportunity to extend her experience. Her firm has an office in Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands and she accepted the opportunity to work there. While in the Falklands, Kate took part in the 13-mile run from Cape Pembroke to Victory Green, and was the first woman past the post.
