My Secondary School was at St Gregory’s College, Obalende, Lagos (not college in the American sense) from 1973 to 1978 and we had really great teachers who took exceptional care, when compared to today’s standards, to inculcate in us not just an education but excellent standards of human decency, dignity and etiquette.

In respect of this, my class mates desired that some of us should visit our Vice Principal in those years, Mrs Carol Obianwu, a citizen of the United States of America, married to a Nigerian, to express our appreciation and courtesy at the devotion and commitment she displayed in handling her duties as the Vice Principal of the School and Physics teacher to the upper classes.

She has since retired and lives in the Austin, Texas, where I visited her on a recent trip.
