I am so very sorry to hear of Mr Baxter’s passing. He taught me at Havelock and Polly was my mentor when I was on teaching practice. My condolences to her and the family.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Mr Baxter. Him and his wife Polly both taught me at Hereford. What wonderful caring teachers they were. Love to the family, Kath (nee Holland.)
