Catatan dari Bp. Muchlis Hamid :
Ambo beruntung bertemu dengan Tan Sri Aishah Ghani tahun 2004 di KL. Waktu itu kami (dengan Razali Nazir & keluarga) pergi ke KL. Tanpa dinyana kami dijamu oleh sanak-sanak yang tergabung dalam organisasi "Pertubuhan Ikatan Kebajikan Masyarakat Minangkabau (PIKMM)" yang diketuai oleh Atan Husdi. Dalam pertemuan itu hadir Bundo Aishah Ghani yang dijadikan urang tuo oleh urang awak di Semenanjung. Hadir pula Prof Dr Firdaus Abdullah. Bundo Aishah Ghani dan Prof Firdaus Abdullah sama-sama memulai karirnya sebagai wartawan.
Menurut cerita Bundo, beliau berasal dari nagari Muaro Bodi (sekarang masuk Kab Sijunjung) dan sudah 3 generasi tinggal di Malaysia. Waktu ada tanda-tanda akan dikawinkan (tradisi orang Melayu) dengan dibelikan alat-alat untuk menjahit-merenda beliau berontak dan melawan arus. Beliau ingin sekolah. Keinginan ini dikabulkan oleh orang tuanya, diantar ke Padang Panjang, diterima langsung oleh Entjik Rahmah El Junusiah dan ditempatkan di kelas 4. Beliau belajar selama 4 tahun di Dinniyah Putri.
Tamat dari Dinniyah Putri beliau melanjutkan ke Islamic College di Padang tahun 1940. Dalam buku "Aishah Ghani, Memoir Seorang Pejuang" ada gambar Aishah Ghani dengan Ainsyah Amin, kakak JB Zubir Amin di depan Islamic College. Di Padang jiwa anti penjajahnya mulai timbul seperti kawan-kawannya satu sekolah. Karena banyaknya kisah beliau tentang perjuangan kemerdekaan dan jejak-jejak mencari ilmu serta karir beliau di bidang politik yang patut diteladani oleh anak-anak muda, saya minta kalau ada buku yang dapat dibaca. Besoknya beliau mengirim buku ke hotel tempat saya menginap. Judulnya seperti di atas. Soalnyo saya membawa 2 anak yang masih mahasiswa. Dengan membaca buku itu akan timbul inspirasi. Untuk maju harus sekolah dan berjuang.
Pendidikan lanjutan ditempuh di Inggris selama 4 tahun dengan meninggalkan 3 orang anaknya yang masih kecil. Suami beliau Encik Abdul Aziz mengizinkannya untuk pergi menuntut ilmu. Encik Abdul Aziz adalah guru Bahasa Inggris di INS Kayutanam. Setelah saya cek kepada kakak saya yang tertua, seangkatan denagn Hasnan Habib di INS Kayutanam "memang ada cekgu yang bernama Engku Abdul Aziz."
