We regret to announce the death of Vera Gysin who taught Russian at KES from the late 1950s till the early 1970s. After leaving KES, Vera taught Russian in Cambridge, mainly at the Perse School for Girls, also the University’s Russian for Scientists summer courses. A combination of teaching, family responsibilities and distance meant that she could return to KES only very occasionally, and nothing like as often as she would have wished.
.
Her funeral will take place at 10.30 am on Friday 27 November at St John the Evangelist Church, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2RN, and the wake at 28a Cavendish Avenue, Cambridge CB1 7US. All former KES staff, pupils and friends would be most welcome.
