AUDREY KENT; Many former pupils from W.G.H.S. will remember with pleasure the caring way in which this great teacher devoted herself to a better understanding of History, in particular. Last week, she was joined by a group of former colleagues in the refurbished Rinaldi's Restaurant at lunch and I called for a brief chat with Audrey, now settled in Adelaide.
