Marjorie (Mulchansingh) Laltoo, the oldest known alumna (and former teacher) of Naparima Girls' celebrated her 100th birthday on Old Year's Night. Mrs. Laltoo was married to the prominent NC alumnus, the late Ralph Laltoo, who passed away in 2004. A group of about sixty friends and family attended the event. The standard congratulatory message was received from Buckingham Palace, and Mrs. Laltoo is seen here examining the document. Mrs Laltoo attributes her longevity to her devotion to the simple values of family, church, and maintaining a clear, unburdened approach to life. more on Mrs Laltoo
