Rosemary variously signed her emails to me "The real Rosemary Clarke", "Mrs. G Clef", "Long-retired music teacher", "The older Mrs. C", "Old music teacher", and "The old but VENERABLE R.C.". The dictionary defines "VENERABLE" as "Commanding respect by virtue of age, dignity, and/or character; worthy of reference". I'd say that dictionary entry could have been illustrated with a photo of Rosemary !---her teaching colleague, Richard Siegelman
