While in Geneva I had the opportunity to spend the day with my friend and colleague Dr Margaret Kehoe-Winkler. Margaret and I used to work together at The University of Sydney (~1989-1991). Margaret has lived and worked in Geneva for a long time - so was able to show us the University and other interesting parts of Geneva. The university was holding their graduation ceremony when we visited - so we were able to clap for Margaret's research assistant as she received her degree. The 2-year speech pathology program has just over 30 Masters' students per intake. Margaret recently retired, but is continuing with some of her research. I am grateful for her work that informed her chapter on Children's development of Swiss French for The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World.
