We are sorry to announce the passing of Doroth Wright (Short), a student at Bedford from 1950 - 53. Her family write....
She always talked so fondly of her time at College in the post war period and her training certainly put in good stead for in her long career as a PE teacher, primarily at UpHolland High School, Wigan, Lancs. A truly fitting legacy not only for mum, but of the training she received during her time at Bedford.
As a family, we have been overwhelmed by the number of her ex-pupils who have contacted us to say how much they respected mum and how her love and enthusiasm for all sports has inspired not only them but their children to grow up with a love of sport and exercise, with many saying she was their favourite teacher in the whole shcool.
Until old age limited her ability to travel, mum regularly attend the Old Students Reunion weekends and loved catching up with old friends and making new ones She also enjoyed seeing and hearing about the younger generations of students and the development at the College over the years.
