Thanks for your lovely message Margaret, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to my site. I've been amazed how many former St Anne's students have been in touch via this guestbook.
I visited St Anne's again recently and got a better photo of it (taken from the residentail road that runs to the back of the campus) so I hope to upload it onto here pretty soon for anyone who's interested! :-)
I googled St Annes school and found your site about your mum.It is a lovely tribute to her and also took me down memory lane,because I was a pupil at St Annes in the 70's,thankyou.
Thanks so much for getting in touch - I was delighted to hear what you said!
I would like very much if you used my mother's photo - I would only be to happy to oblige. I think it would be lovely for her image as a young girl to be preserved on the cover of the book you mention - I am sure she would have approved.
I will contact you at the email address you have provided, thanks.
I am senior editor for Scholastic Canada Ltd., a leading publisher of children's books in Canada. I'm working on a book about a girl who's just turned twelve in 1940, and I am trying to find a cover cameo, a black and white photograph from around that era. It is part of our Dear Canada series of historical novels.
During my hunt on flickr I came across the lovely photograph of your mother, her school photo at St. Anne's Convent. (In the photo she has her hand up beside her face.)
I'd like to ask if it might be possible to use this image as a cameo on the cover of our book. The author is award-winning writer Jean Little, who has published over 40 books to date, is a member of the Order of Canada, and who has won the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award for a prior book in this series.
The series of books has won dozens of awards and been extremely well reviewed. We have found some of our cover cameos from archives and museums around the world, but also from individual people who have such a photo in their family albums. If you would like to see some of these covers/cameos, please go to www.scholastic.ca/dearcanada
Could you kindly let me know if you would be interested in discussing this? Your mother's face so nicely matches the girl in our story, whose family take in two war guests who have come to Canada in 1940 to be safe from the Blitz, while their parents remain in England.
I would be most interested in speaking with you. We would of course credit the source of the image in our acknowledgments section, and I’m happy to discuss a fee.
Thank you so very much for your kind attention to this request.
Thanks for your lovely message - it was great to hear from you. I'm so sorry to hear about your mum though - it must be really tough for you at the moment. I do hope you and your family are coping at what must be a difficult time for you all.
I certainly remember you, yes! I think you lived near the old St Luke's hospital site? And I think your surname was 'Wastell' - forgive me if I'm wrong!
It's a pity you've lost touch with Diana - I'm sure she'd be happy to hear from you - I will tell her you've been in touch :-) I'm not sure if Diana's on Friends Reunited or Facebook - those seem to be the primary ways people get in touch these days I guess!
I'm so glad you enjoyed my mum's biography - I did it in the months after she passed away as I kind of therapy I suppose. I didn't want this information to be lost - especially for my son - so I'm pleased I was in a position where I could document it in this way. I don't have a PC at home, so I did it all in my lunch hours at work! It's nice to reminisce at this time and remember someone's life, as you've been doing with your mum's sisters.
Well, good to hear from you, and I hope things get better soon :-)
Hi Steven - I found your site during a trip down memory lane! I was Diana's best friend at school but haven't seen her for the last few years. I remember you and Maurice at Shirley Road only as the pesky brothers who wanted to know what Diana and I were doing (usually playing Sindy!)
I read the biography of your Mum with great sadness, but also smiling as I also have such lovely memories of your Mum from my visits to Shirley Road over the years. She was a kind and loving person who never had a bad word to say about anyone and always let me and Diana buy a 'witches hat' from the icecream van!
Sadly, my Mum also passed away last month, so we are pulling together all the stories we remember, but with help from Mum's sisters (including Celia and Veronica), I'm sure we'll be able to get a better picture.
Thank you and well done for producing such a fantastic website - I look forward to reading more about your family's adventures!
