Miss Michaluk lived across the street from our family in Hillhurst and it wasn't until I was in high school at Queen Elizabeth, that I knew she taught home ec... I was in her classes but felt like I was an 'old friend' when visiting my parents home after graduation as she would come over to say hello and ask how I was doing and WHAT I was doing with my life. I was just back in the old neighbourhood this past week and was saddened to hear of her passing. A wonderful caring teacher and a good neighbour. Condolences to the family!

I still regularily use my "Food and Home Management" cookbook and text (purchased in 1961) that was a requirement for the years Miss Michaluk taught me home ec at Queen Elizabeth Jr. High. She instilled in me a love of cooking and for almost 50 years now I have used the special pancake recipe she hand wrote for me.
Although she spent countless hours trying to teach me to sew, her efforts were in vain. I still cannot sew a straight line.

I have fond memories of being in Miss Michaluk's Home Economic classes at Currie Junior High School in Calgary. Her knowledge was timeless, and I still put into use some of what I learned from her in Grades 8 and 9, from back in the late 60's!
