Mrs. Smith was my Biology and Zoology teacher in Gr. Xlll (1964/65). She played a significant part in my graduating and opening the doors to several careers. I was accepted to attend Gr. Xlll, with only grade eight formal education. By Christmas I wanted to quit, as I had failed all exams. Mrs. Smith counselled me and encouraged me to stay on until Easter. I did and slowly began to thrive. I graduated, and had four successful careers. Mrs. Smith was an exceptional patient teacher and giving human being and went beyond the norms. My sincere condolences to her family.
