Ronald Mackay
Originally from Coupar Angus, Scotland, Ronald Mackay attended the Morgan Academy in Dundee from 1947 until 1960. In Scotland an “academy” was the equivalent of an English grammar school. Parents and teachers encouraged students to take their studies seriously because continuous and conscious effort are an essential key to success. This true story, “Earnest Encouragement”, illustrates how one new teacher helped sharpen his students’ concentration.
Ronald and his wife, Viviana, reside in the Netherlands and spend winter months in Buenavista del Norte on Tenerife’s north coast.
Ronald enjoys contributing to Fred’s Blog and is author of “Fortunate Isle, a Memoir of Tenerife”, “The Kilt Behind the Curtain”, and “Windows On My Worlds: A Collection of 31 Short Stories” as well as a memoir in Spanish, “A Tenerife con Cariño”.
