May Mundt a Biography

writes poems to show her appreciation; poems tinged with humour and reflective of the care and compassion at the centre. I spent an hour with May on this first visit and these 60 minutes flashed before my eyes. We spoke freely, with May speaking and myself asking questions and seeking more details at times. We could have gone on indefinitely but after the hour we decided to call it a day. I made another appointment to meet May on Wednesday the 5 th of April at the same time, where we agreed we could take up where we left off. We spoke about a myriad thing but in the main – in this fascinating 60 minutes - we discussed, her schooling, life on the farm, her marriage and what led to its disintegration and her 5 – much loved - children. So, let’s begin then looking back on the life of an extraordinary women, Esma (May) Mundt.
