I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family of Gladys Slater. Gladys and I worked together in the Department of Education in the late 50s and early 60s. She helped celebrate my marriage in 1958 and we have kept in touch through Christmas letters ever since those early days. She and Trudy Birrell have remained faithful in their contact with me and I was blessed indeed with these good friends from my past. I missed Gladys's letter this past Christmas and in a chat with Trudy I was advised of Gladys's failing health. I will always miss her annual greeting and I shall never forget this kind and wonderful lady.
We were very sorry to learn of Toots' passing. She was a very involved and an independent person and a great friend of my Aunt Dorothy. We always enjoyed her newsy Christmas letters.
I would like to express my sympathy to the family of Gladys Slater. She was my first boss in the Dept. of Education and taught me a great deal. I feel her guidance paved the way for my future success in my chosen career. Gladys and I corresponded through Christmas letters over the years and several years ago we met at Kenosee Lake for a good visit and sharing memories. I feel the loss of a good friend and I am sure her family will miss this wonderful lady.
