She was a credit to her class.' "

Sheindelle's Memories of AVT

"I remember when I first came to see Jacqueline at her house. I remember Pinchos and I learned together, and there was another lady called Isabelle. When we shared the lessons, Isabelle took us out to take photos. I was wondering if the photo was still in our house and I managed to find it. I was standing outside the postbox, across the road from Jacqueline’s house. This was when I was about seven years old. Jacqueline had a box of arts and crafts, and I remember making a fairy together with her. We played with penguins, an elephant and butterflies, and lots of other things. It was a lot of fun.
