In November 2002 a letter came from Zena Carruthers in Nashville, Tennessee. In it she writes: -
‘My computer is not sufficiently sophisticated to let me send you this photo via e-mail, so I thought Id send you a hard copy and take the oppor tunity to write a line or two. (I see from the Bell Baxter FP Newsletter that you remain interested in the doings of your Former Pupils).
‘I live in the US, but was home this summer for the Golden Jubilee celebrations in London, and also spent a few days in Carlisle visiting family. Margaret Wilson (née Haggart) and I have remained close friends over the years and we met up with our children for an afternoon at Carlisle Castle (which is where the photo was taken). That was lots of fun and a treat to be able to catch up with all the news face to face.
‘After Bell Baxter I read American Studies at Manchester University, then moved down to London to train as a Chartered Accountant. Following qualification I signed up for a two year tour of duty with Price Waterhouse in Milan. That's where I met my husband, an American, who was also work ing for Price Waterhouse. After our marriage in 1984 I moved to the US - though I still dream of returning home to settle one day.
‘Steve (Thorne - I didn't change my name) and I have two children, Julia (16) and Sam (13). How on earth did 1 become the mother of two teenag ers?
‘I still work as an accountant, though I am currently "resting' between assignments due to the economic downturn.’
