Mrs.Garson was one of the best teachers in the division. She instilled in her students a love of learning through her kindness and gentleness. She was my grade 2 teacher at Lord Wolseley school and also our neighbour on Linden ave. She was widowed when her children were quite young and did a super job of raising them to be fine men...outstanding members of our community. I remember their dog Taiso too! Three of her students ( and my friends from the school days ) were just talking about what a wonderful teacher she was. - Posted by: Nancy-Lou Ateah ( Baillie ) (Grade 2 student at Lord Wolseley school) on: Mar 03, 2013
