2. After more than four decades in the kitchen teaching students how to cook at college, Vale man David Wallace hung up his apron. He took his first batch of students in 1972 and the popular 63-year-old Clydebank College Professional Cookery lecturer had seen some vast changes in the way his students prepared their culinary delights.
