I remember a graphic demonstration of the area of a circle by Mr Phillips who was so in love with Maths. It is a tribute to him that I opted to do that as one of my lessons for a moderated teaching practice ( I got a Distinction in TP ). Does any one else remember HIS pronunciation of PERSEVERANCE? He always said : PER SEVERANCE ( as in severance pay!). He was a giant of a man in more ways than one. May he rest in eternal peace.

Hello All:

Wilfred Phillips was one of our great teachers. I was able to say this to his son, Allisford, fellow Glory Guy, and member of the 1967-89 year group, at our recent reunion in Tobago. I was very fond of this great man, who on more than one occasion in my student life at Mausica, had a kind word for me. He will be among the angels. Scratchy.

I visited Mr. Phillip on Feb. 11 while he was hospitalised. His memory was somewhat fading, but he did remember Maureen Mathews-Warner, Versil Bayne-Ferguson and I. I also visited Mr. Williams on that day and his memory is phenomenol. Will ask Maureen to extend condolences on our behalf.

Mr Phillip died this morning. I have just returned from his home. I spoke to his wife this morning who sounded very distressed at his condition. She said that she did not like how he was breathing. I went to the home to be of some comfort and assistance, but he died before I arrived. I waited with her and the family until the undertakers had taken the body. The day of funeral depends on the arrival of his son who lives in the USA.

Re: group's donation
2008-Feb-25-1243hrs
At our last meeting, we agreed that we would make a donation to some community group and it was suggested that I visit a literacy group in Malvern. Further to the message below which I sent out on December 18, I would suggest that we donate $200. to this program. Can we have an email vote on this?
Brenda
Barbara and I visited Malvern After-School Intergenerational Program which is operated out of Church of the Nativity by former educators Eunice Chaderton and Claudette Antoine with the help of volunteers. (More volunteers are needed.) The students are assisted with homework and they receive instruction in reading, math, drama, guitar, drumming, computer. The students receive a nutritious meal prepared on the premises by a volunteer who has experience in nutrition.

The group receives some funding from Parkdale Golden Age Foundation, but this is not enough. A Read-A-Thon is being held on January 18, 2008 from 6 to 8pm. Guests are invited to come and read with the children. Sponshorship forms are available by calling 416-289-0903.

This is a stable, well organised program.

Please don't rely on me to remember. I endorse the" suggestments" made by Claude Norville, especially the one about being closer together. I very much enjoyed my stay in Canaan with hostel mates. That way we did not lose the time between events. The Cultural aspect is quite important to both for our spiritual enrichment and as a contribution to the Grenada Tourism effort.

Before i forget... I think it is time for another reunion in Trinidad. pat

RE: Grenada reunion;:

Dear to my heart is the idea that the group that assembles there, does something to benefit the Grenada community, in the area of education, like what Anna Maria and others did in Tobago. I have a workshop- interactive, participatory, called Journeys of Migration, that I have done to US groups explaining who we are as Trinis, and of course as Grenadians. I would gladly do it for a group of teachers. It could be used to inspire a love of history, literature and culture. Would come in a day earlier to do this during a weekday.During my time as a trainig officer for CFPA, I loved doing workshops to which an adult brought a kid. It gives a very different perspective.

Also, I throw out the suggestion of "books for Grenada". We could all bring a book or two to donate to a teachers' library at the public library, or to the Teachers' Association of Grenada, or to the Min. of Education's professional library that is accessible to teachers. We could then publicly present the books at the official opening function.

I am always stunned when I go back home, and see the high price of reading based on the cost of books. Our going theere should make a difference, professionally.

My nephew just said "time to start to wuk". He came all the way from TnT to paint my house while on vacation. I must heed him. He helps move big pieces of furniture.

Hi all,
I remember one suggestion discussed was that it would be great if the dates could coincide with any local festivals. I know we all enjoyed the Heritage Fair. Another was maybe we could stay closer together geographically, and a third which is tied to the second was that we needed to be close and have time to hang out and just shoot the breeze – maybe at a local facility.

I extended condolences on our group's behalf to Florence who lost her mother early this year. I delivered an arrangement and a card to her. Sorry to be the bearer of sad news.
P.S. the bus trip to NY is for friends and family as well.
