Trudy was one of my favourite teachers and a wonderful neighbour of ours growing up near Central School. The last time I spoke with her was many years ago when my children were still in elementary school. She asked how they were doing and I explained my son was having difficulty that year with one particular teacher - he couldn't seem to please her despite getting high marks and completing all his assignments on time. The teacher seemed to take pleasure in embarrassing him in front of other students and rarely offered a word of encouragement or praise. Trudy held my hand and said, "Shirley, some people are born teachers; some others should never be allowed to enter the profession. You tell Adam to hang in there and keep being an awesome student." That was Trudy.
My sincere condolences Patty and family on your loss. Your mum left a legacy of learning in her wake for which I'm grateful. She instilled in me a love of books, of reading, of proper punctuation! She will never be forgotten by me.
