Shawni goes to school

The 8 September 1987 and Shawni starts her life long commitment to learning. It's her first day of school in Marly-le-Roi, a small village to the west of Paris where we lived for a few years. She is 2 months short of three years old.

From my letter home: 'She is a little girl, speaks beautifully and has a vast vocabulary.'

Now a woman, she still speaks beautifully, still has a vast vocabulary, Shawni went on to matriculate from St. Mary's in Waverley, Johannesburg with 5 distinctions; has 2 honours degrees, has a CA (SA) and this year completed her 3rd and final year of CFA.

Craig posted this message when she got her result earlier in the year:

"This one is so clever! Passed CFA level 3, so now a CA(SA) and CFA! So proud of her! Love you! "

We agree!
