I’m so sorry to hear of Helen’s passing. She was wonderful to work with. I met Helen about 30 years ago when I began leading the Docent group at the MacDonald Stewart Art Centre (now the Art Gallery of Guelph). This was only one of the many many organizations Helen was involved with. Helen’s journalist skills, easy way with people, and her interest in art made her a natural. Helen dove into every tour she led with gusto, giving excellent tours to all ages. We had great conversations together about the shows we were presenting. I happily remember those times and Helen’s part in making them great.
To this day, I am constantly reminded of Helen’s comment, “Susan, you will never find a volunteer who is NOT busy.” Helen, this is so true! Your interest in people, and your involvement in so many organizations have helped guide my path. Rest Well!
