Irene Hilchey, 26 years a teacher, hung up her skates and said goodbye.
Hilchey had taught in Thompson for over two decades at Burntwood, then Eastwood, and now kindergarten at École Riverside School. She had decided not to attend the local teachers’ retirement event.
Dianne Dick and Joan Dawson, Retired Teachers’ Association of Manitoba, phoned ahead. “Irene, we once taught with you and now you are retiring. May we bring a treat over for you and yours?”
The answer was immediate. “The children would love that.”
Thumbs up a to a pretty good approach to life, eh, sharing your treat. So the best to you Mrs. Hilchey, and on to your new life.
