Arriving to live in Hensall in the early 60s, I was keen to attend the local Brownie Group, along with my classmates. I was new to the Guiding Movement, while my peers were soon ready to 'fly-up' to Guides.. Mrs. Cook offered to tutor me privately, to have me ready to 'walk up' to Guides, along with my friends.
Dad was renovating the Cook's country estate home at the time and while he worked, I would enjoy the special attention that Mrs. Cook bestowed on me.
It was obvious that she loved children and I was so in awe of her beauty...she glowed in happiness...a wonderful example to the many young ladies she led.
Our sincere condolences to Carolyn and her family and to all who loved Anita Cook.
