Joseph Simpson turns 100 with a low-key celebration
A popular retired headteacher has reached a notable milestone celebrating his 100th birthday at home with his wife.
Joseph W Simpson, who lives in Mearns Drive with his wife, Margaret, spent his entire teaching career in the north-east and is a well-known face in the local community.
As well as his passion for education, Joe was closely involved with school football and enjoyed watching one of his ‘discoveries’, Don Masson from Banchory, go on to play for Scotland.
Joe’s career as a teacher began at Pitmedden School before being appointed headteacher at Catterline Primary in 1956.
