Lani,
I'm so sorry to hear of Gus' passing. I fondly remember my first year of teaching at North Delta as a wet behind the ears rookie when we carpooled together along with Bill Havdale. Gus kindly gave me good advice about how to survive in the teaching profession - in particular in the Delta school district.

Luckily for me, Gus was also the counsellor for my riotous grade 8 home room class that I also had to teach for an entire year in Science 8 and Math 8. My little darlings earned the reputation as "the worst students to ever attend a field trip at the Vancouver Planetarium," which will give you an idea of what I was working with. Thanks to Gus' counselling help with some of the worst offenders, I survived the class and the year (and went on to 33 more years in SD 37).

I'm going to miss Gus. He was quite the guy; sorry that he had to leave us so young.

Condolences Lani,
Many pleasant memories of working with Gus at North Delta Sec.
