"Here's to you, Miss Robertson"

Some of the greatest gifts that Isabel has enjoyed over the last year
are the cards, letters, phone calls and visits from former students.
You started writing, phoning, and coming last August... and your
greetings and wishes still come each week. THANK YOU.

Isabel's teaching career as "Miss Robertson" occurred between 1948
and 1953 in a variety of one-room (Grades 1-10) to four-room
schools. Mum has heard from colleagues from her Normal School and
University days, and from teachers and/or students in each of her
schools (Unity School near Clavet, Minnehaha north of North
Battleford, Melfort, and Abernethy).

One student invited Mum to his 75th birthday party. Two sisters
(former students) travelled nearly 7 hours for a Saturday afternoon
visit. (Mum had visited one of them over 20 years ago; another she
has not seen since 1949.)

Amid this horrendous year in Mum's life, we are ever grateful for the
connections made and sustained. Thank you again.

Mum has a new photo album in her Wascana room titled: "Miss
Robertson's Teaching Days". Some of you have sent photos from over
50 years ago. We have added these to the photo album along with ones
from Mum's photo albums.... and we will add more.

Here's to you, Miss Robertson, and the wonderful student and teacher
friends that you have made over the years!
