"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 4, 1992-19 New addition to Crandell household Did Mr. Woodchuck chuckle when he didn't see his shadow. Another six weeks to snooze. "Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?" In my window garden f have a beautiful pot of daffodils, a pot of pink hyacinths, a keepsake azalea blooming for the sixth time, an apple blossom amaryil- la, four blooms out and a pink African violet. What a mixture but Ilove flowers. I went to a lovely "tea party" last week at Epsom School. This. wag to honor our dearly loved vice-principal of the Green- bank-Epsom School, Mrs. Lin- da Fockler. Our children served a cup of tea and a slice of a huge cake baked and decorated by Mrs. Slack. There were lovely gifts for Linda from the parents, Greenbank School, all the grades.

The children think he is Mr. Won- derful. Our four years with Mrs. Fockler have been happy ones and we wish her many more. When I returned home from the school the axe fell when I learned of the passing of a very good friend Hilda Bailey. She taught at several schools in- cluding Epsom, Scugog and Cornish. It was a shock many of us will never forget. We do ex- tend sympathy to her son Allen and sisters Greta and Laura. Never a day passed that she wasn't giving or doing some- thing for someone. Among her for priorities were Epsom-Utica Church and the upkeep of the cemeteries. Many, many con- 7 bye to vice-principal Linda Fockler at a party held in her honor on Jan. 28 at the school. The students did a variety of skits writ- ten especially for the occasion. Many of the people in atten- dance fought back tears while reminiscing about the past four- and-a-half years. Mrs. Fockler received many beautiful gifts, in- cluding this handcrafted lamp which sports the Epsom- Greenbank public schools crest. Mrs. Fockler took over the vice-principalship at R. H. Cornish Public School on Feb. 1.

They wanted a complete picture of the humble beginnings of the Mechanics Institute when a few residents realized the knowl- edge contained in a few books. The library has grown to con- tain thousands of books, videos, special books for the blind or sight-impaired. There is the use of a computer system, a chil- dren's library, photocopier.
