Miss Newton was grade 3/4 teacher at William Burgess School and again in grade 6 at R.H.McGregor. I was reunited with her in 1994 while walking on street in North York. We kept in touch and occasionally had lunch. One of her favourite haunts was Joey's in Don Mills. She loved to ride in my MINI, and she would recall the days when she drove the same car. I will always treasure her R.H. McGregor map of the world initiative, which her grade 6 students painted on the cement playground.
She taught me some wonderful values and I am so pleased that I was able to have such a long friendship which lasted over 50 years.
The WMCT Foundation was established about a year after I joined the Club as Treasurer. Elizabeth was a true leader and supporter of chamber music, music education and performer development. The Club and Foundation were truly fortunate to benefit from her expertise.
Sally was one of the best and lived life to the full. We shall miss her.
