Sad news
October saw the passing away of two distinguished members of the profession, who
devoted their lives to the education of teachers-to-be.
Prof. Nelly Shakespear studied and started her career in Rosario, later
to move to Buenos Aires, where she specialised in Language and
Literature and was APIBA President (1978-1980). For many years she
organised a renowned Literature Summer School in Los Cocos. We fondly
remember her visit a few years ago, in the event of the publication of
her book Moments, Moods, Memories - A Thematic Study in English and
American Poetry http://tinyurl.com/qfzw243 . APIBA remembers her

Prof. Delia Redoano, Honorary Member of APrIR, was one of the
Founding Teachers who came from Buenos Aires in the 1930’s to start the
programme of Profesorado en Inglés, never to leave until her retirement. On
occasion of her 100th birthday in January 2012 we celebrated it by
sending her some presents and letters from former students. We remember
her in http://www.aprir.org.ar/anuncios/inmemoriamdeliaredoano
