Had there not been photo with Dorothy’s obituary, I would not have realized that Dorothy was my grade 2 teacher at Sloane Avenue Public School in Toronto in 1961-62. Further, the obit’s description of the kind of person Dorothy was matched my memory of her. She was a wonderfully supportive teacher and contribituded to my early development of academic courage and self-respect. I have always remembered her fondly. I am happy that she led a long and enjoyable life. My grade 2 self says thank you Mrs. Patterson!
