Jan. 02: Today we received a gracious donation from Phyllis Engram in memory of Frances Geddes who completed her life journey on December 26, 2012. Frances and Phyllis were both colleagues in the Fall River Education System, Nova Scotia, Canada and enjoyed collegial collaboration as they shared their classroom experiences and expertise. The funds offered in memory of Lady Frances will all go to help a child attend school, a child who otherwise would not have such an opportunity. How wonderfully fitting that Phyllis's honouring her colleague in this manner, and EveryChildCounts...EveryStudentMatters is privileged to continue what Frances so enjoyed - teaching our children and our youth. We so salute Lady Frances for all she has done helping others and we most sincerely thank Lady Phyllis for passing on the torch of teaching others in Frances' memory.

*Remembering KENNETH MORGAN BOBBETT, 1949 – 2003

On March 2, 2003, family, friends, colleagues and former students were deeply saddened by the death of Kenneth Bobbett.

Kenneth was born and educated at Pass Island, Hermitage Bay. He attended Memorial University where he graduated with a B.A.(Ed.) and a B.A. He began his teaching career in Burgeo in 1966 and over the next 30 years taught in Rencontre East, Seal Cove (F. Bay) and Hermitage. He retired in March 1998.

During his teaching career Kenneth touched the lives of numerous students through his simple, easygoing approach to life and learning. He strived to instill in them a thirst for knowledge, a love for reading and an appreciation for literature, especially Shakespeare.

He was actively involved in his community serving terms on the Conher Development Association and the Hermitage-Sandyville Town Council, as well as being an active member of the Hermitage-Sandyville Lions Club.

Kenneth was a determined and dedicated individual as exhibited by his many struggles with sickness during his teaching career and during his few retirement years. He never gave up but faced each obstacle with courage and resolve. The words of the song Too Old to Die Young by Moe Bandy, that he loved to sing and play with his buddies during their many jam sessions speaks best:

Let me watch my children grow,

To see what they become.

Oh, Lord, don’t let the cold wind blow,

‘Till I’m too old to die young.

Kenneth is deeply missed by his loving wide Ida,

daughters Kelly, Tammy, and Jennifer, son Danny,

grandchildren Ethan, Kendra and Danielle, as well as a

large circle of relatives and friends.
