A Snapshot from the Past


I recently came across this lovely photograph. The smiling teacher in this picture is my grandmother, Eveline McQuoid.  She was born in 1899 in Coromandel. I don't know when or where this photo was taken. I believe Eveline did much of her teaching in the Titirangi or Huia area of Auckland and I guess it was taken in the 1930s.

Eveline passed away in 1970, so I never knew her, but I wonder what she would think if she could visit me in my modern classroom today.
