I have fond memories of visiting the Thirsty Thinkers tea room when I was about 11 years old. Perhaps 1974? I am in Halifax visiting today and thought to check and see if on the off chance it was still open. I loved learning about Alberta and wanted to share how much I enjoyed her tea shop as a young almost teen obsessed with books and tea. My condolences. Gillian Garside

I was googling my Great Aunt, Edwina C. Wharton Smith and the obituary on your mother came up. I was so sorry to hear of her passing, as she was a great friend of my father's, Daniel Clarke Wharton Finney (DC), and almost like cousins since Aunt Winnie and Bertie Sr. being twin sisters.
My father passed away Nov. 5th 2012, and my mother, Eleanor Jean Finney, passed on March 5th 2011. They both were up in Nova Scotia summer of 2010 and had a lovely lunch with your mother at the golf course...

I never knew you, but am thrilled to see that such an outstanding individual was a Sweet Briar graduate and an excellent horsewoman. That means we had some very special things in common. What a life you led Bertie...rest in peace my Sweet Briar sister.
