bullet  General Notes:

She was known as Dicky within Margaret Smith's New Zealand family, since her married name was Dickson.
They came across her working at a hotel in Cambridge, New Zealand, as a chef while visiting the racetrack in town.
She had a close friend, Gwen, who she lived with in the hotel.
She was apparently quite a hard character, with a thick scottish accent.
There was a story recounted, where after some people (drinking?) in the hotel, declared themselves to be Catholic, Gwen declared her catholicism also - although she was a lapsed Catholic.
At this point "Dicky" stood up and announced in a loud scottish voice, "Well I'm a Protestant and proud of it" or words to this effect. 2
