Description | "This is Your Life" file on Jeanne Cruickshank (1899-2003), containing her memoir, illustrated with reproductions of various documents (this appears to have been prepared with the assistance of a Social Service student from the Northern College of Education in 1988). This item was removed from its original ringbinder for preservation reasons. "Reflections" booklet written by Jeanne about her life. Order of service for Jeanne's funeral in Inverness, and tribute booklet.
Jeanne attended Insch school until 14, when she transferred to the Gordon Schools in Huntly. Her memoir and the Reflections booklet contain details of her time at both schools, and images of her Dux Medal from the Gordon Schools (awarded 1916). She later went onto Aberdeen University, became a teacher of French and German at Macduff then Inverness Academy, frequently visiting Germany from the 1920s onwards. |
