Such a lovely lady. Gwen was the Speech Therapist at Glen Taylor whilst I was a pupil there in the 1960's.

However, it was in the late 1970's when I got to know her better. I did some work for her together with her good friend and colleague, June Linton.

In 1982 whilst on my OE in London, I was walking down the road and looked over and there was Gwen and Athol. They took pity on a New Zealand girl alone in London and took me out for dinner that night. We had a wonderful evening and I have often thought fondly of them both over the years.

RIP Gwen.

A wonderful lady and superb Speech Therapy Teacher. My daughter was so fortunate to have been a client of Gwen's in the 1960si in Auckland where she received great support to help her overcome some speech difficulties due to partial hearing loss. We have often spoken of Gwen over the years. My daughter is now 56 years old and her speech is fine. May your beautiful Spirit fly amongst the Stars. My thoughts are with the family at this time.
