For the last nineteen years, many people in Bulawayo would have had the
privilege of knowing or have been 'nursed' by
Sr. Mary Little, who finally took early retirement from the
position as a very active and busy District Nurse. Mary loved her
patients and was often heard to comment that it was not essential that
the accounting side matched the actual number of visits - especially
given many peoples circumstances.
Together with with Noel, her husband, (who also played an active part
in latter years by doing all the 'hard work', as I call it, i.e. the
book and paper work, chasing Medical Aid Societies, and seeing that
Mary always had safe and reliable transport to get her to and from
work) have gone to settle in England. They will initially be staying at
The Foundation of Lady Katherine Leveson Home, which is situated at
TEMPLE BALLSAL COMMON, not far from a little village called KNOWLE, in
the WEST MIDLANDS, near SOLIHULL, which is a suburb of Birmingham. It
is very difficult to find on the map, but in real life, I guess it must
be quite big. Their address is:-
Mr. and Mrs. N.P.C. Little,
Flat 16, The Foundation of Lady Katherine Leveson,
Temple Balsall,
Knowle, Solihull,
est Midlands, B93 OAN.
England.
Telephone Number: 1564 739020.
There they will stay until finally settled, and I'm sure that Mary will
be anxious to start work again! Talk about late retirement!
Mary (nee Browne) was born on the 3rd March, 1927 (she'll not be
pleased with me for giving that information, but it is important) on a
farm called "Lyndene", near Gwelo, what was then Southern Rhodesia.
She often spoke about going to school by horse and cart, and to this
day is remembered as the girl with pigtails! She received her senior
school education at Chaplin High School, and left to start her General
Nurse Training in Bulawayo in 1944.
I can imagine what kind of a child Mary was - always full of questions,
nursing the sick chickens and calves, learning how to handle cobras
without killing them and always wanting to know about everything. She
was always very kind and sensitive to the needs of others and seldom
worrying about herself.
Mary was an avid sporting girl, who loved hockey, tennis and horse
riding - once even acquiring a doomed racehorse called "Prince" to
torment her family with - given its tendency to go flat out!
When she finished her training in about 1948, she returned to live and
help at Lyndene, then met and married Noel in 1950 and was housewife in
both Gweru and Bulawayo. They had three children viz: Jane (now
Petrie) in 1952, Robert in 1954, and Margaret (now Steel) in 1962. Her
family might have been larger, as Mary always regarded family as
important and has kept up with her extended family ties. Very sadly,
shortly after her marriage Mary lost her brother and sister, and then
both her parents, all within a three year period. She lost her eldest
sister a few years ago, and more recently, Peter Mansel, a cousin, with
whom she was brought up with on Lyndene. He died in Australia a few
months ago.
It was not until 1969 when she eventually started work again,
initially at Ingutsheni Hospital, and then joined the Municipal Health
Services, working in various clinics and the Infectious Diseases
Hospital, then did a Family Planning Course, and finally left after
eleven years. With the encouragement and support of Miss Pam Easton
and the doctors of Bulawayo Mary started up the private practice of
district nursing in the Bulawayo area. She actually "paved the way" for
the District Nurses of to-day. Six months later, she invited Margaret
Sherfield to join her. At a later date, Isa Broughton and Joy Cox came
to join her too.
Throughout her entire career, Mary always worked tirelessly and
conscientiously and was an inspiration to her family, friends and
colleagues too. Namely Joy, Isa, Margaret and later, to me too when I
joined the 'scene' in 1995. She kept her family entertained for years
with anecdotes of some of her experiences in District Nursing!
Mary and Noel, I am sure many people will want to join me in a "toast"
to you (I don't think there will be enough champagne!) - but we will
say our love and appreciation go with you. We say "GO SLOW", "TAKE
CARE" and "GOD SPEED". We will miss you.

Joy Cox and many others who so kindly answered my many questions.)

"THE DIARY OF AN AFRICAN PRINCESS"
by Michele Macmillan
On Thursday 21 October
At the Polocrosse Club House
Bulawayo Country Club
Esigodini Rd
At 6pm
Snacks * Cash Bar.
This often amusing and sometimes cynical account of the first year
experiences of a new Australian immigrant forms a refreshing point of
reference for new migrants, potential migrants and even those who have
decided to stay in their homeland.
"No one recognised my status as a Princess. I was required to do things
I would never have imagined"
Shonkey operators, skanky boyfriends, feral neighbours, dobbing in and
Aussie Rules all form part of her initiation into Australian society.
MATER DEI HOSPITAL MEMORIAL SRVICE
The Memorial Service will be held in the Mater Dei Chapel on the 5th
November 1700hrs to 1800hrs, everyone is welcome to attend. The
service is in memory of any of our loved ones who have died. One is

during the service.
I will be away as from today until the 18th October . My phone number
is 240001/6 or 240007 home should there be any queries. My deputy is
Mrs May Natheson, she can be contacted on my work number 1700hrs to

BULAWAYO SECONDHAND BOOK FAIR
in aid of St John's (Anglican) Cathedral,
Saturday 30 October in the Harker Hall,
alongside the Cathedral.
Donations of books and paintings are invited, and may be delivered to
the office of the Cathedral Administrator (Mr Roger Barker, tel: 60092)
or to the home of the organisers
(Tony and Vivien Hyland, tel: 250291 or 091 239811). All books in good
condition are welcome, though we know from experience that hard back
novels (apart from sets of classics) and Encyclopedia sets are very
hard to sell. Last year, we raised over $ 600 000 in aid of cathedral
funds; this year, our target is $2 500 000. Please help us to establish
the Secondhand Book Fair as an annual event on the Bulawayo cultural
calendar.

MUSIC
October sees the return of NOKUTHULA NGWENYAMA, the outstanding
young American violinist whose father came from right here in
Bulawayo. Yes, violinist! Nokuthula has taken up the violin as well
as the viola and it is the former instrument that she will be bringing
to Zimbabwe for this visit. She was last here for the 2001 Bulawayo
Music Festival but her career has advanced by leaps and bounds since
then and she has performed extensively throughout the United States
with appearances at the White House and with several major orchestras
including the Atlanta, Baltimore and Indianapolis Symphonies, the Los
Angeles Philharmonic and the National Symphony Orchestra. The
Washington Post commented that she 'plays beautifully, with dazzling
technique in the virtuoso fast movements and deep expressiveness in the
slow movements'.
Nokuthula plays perhaps the most famous piece of classical music of
them all, Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, with the Bulawayo Philharmonic
Orchestra conducted by Corrado Trinci on Saturday 23 October at 8.15
p.m.
The following Tuesday, 26 October at 7.30 p.m., she plays sonatas
by Grieg and Fauré as well as music by Coleridge-Taylor and Kreisler in
recital with Jeanette Micklem.
Both concerts take place in the Robert Sibson Hall at the Zimbabwe
Academy of Music and booking for both is at Meikles.
We the Management, Instructors and Staff at Muscles and Curves and
Piet's personal Training Gym would like to thank you all for your kind
