General Information:

Pioneers - Nakuru School - ……I arrived to teach in Nakuru School, on Thinking Day, 1934. ….. Mrs Dorothy Keeling, the Guide Captain, had kindly helped to collect my cabin-trunk at the old ramshackle wooden railway station opposite Nakuru Hotel (now the Midland). The Wild West appearance of the station and hotel terrified me. I could imagine cowboys riding up to the wooden hitching-posts, tethering their mustangs, and shooting it out. I didn't unpack my trunk for 6 months, saving my fare to return to Ireland.
