Review from a student who took PED 108S
I took her for softball. She was pretty cool, though I thought she should have cancelled class that one day it was 107 outside. I ended up using one of my 3 free absenses that day. I guess just go and at least try, and you'll get an A. She's a nice lady.

Review from a student who took yTZUUryFBiYdTd
Hi ArthurHaving lived in the Sutton Park area, the name Oonagh Whitsett immediately rang a bell as the name of the swimnimg pool which was built in one area of Sutton Park. This was in the mid 60s if I remember correctly. At the time I also seem to recall that the pool was designed with diving in mind and that one end was particularly deep to cater for diving training. I did not know at the time who Oonagh Whitsett was nor her link with aquatic sport but this was revealed years later in a book I bought at a school fete. The book is called Springboks Past and Present 1888-1947 . In it is a picture of Oonagh as Winner : Womens' Diving Empire Games 1930. She also represented South Africa at the 1934 Empire Games. I then contacted a friend of mine who is a mine of information and he informed me that Oonagh married Edward (Ted) Shaw who was to become Mayor of Durban. Ted was well known in horse racing circles. A daughter was born of this union, Clodagh.As an aside, I stand to be corrected but all the swimnimg pools in Durban were named after women. The Beach Baths were called Rachel Finlayson who was the 1928 Olympic Swimming Team Coach. The other municipal pools I knew of was one in Montclair, another in Glenwood , one on the Bluff(?) and the City Baths near the Post Office. Can anyone fill in the names?I hope this helps.
