Mrs. Abraham Will Be 80.


On the 12th. of November this year a beloved Kindergarten teacher for hundreds of boys from Feild will be 80. Mrs. Abraham (aka Miss Chatwood) taught me and other boys at Feild from the early 50's to the mid 60's. She will be having an open house at her residence in St. Luke's Home, Cottage 52, on Wed. Nov. 11 from 2-4:30. She would love to see as many boys as possible. Do not bring a gift, just come and say hello and wish her well.

I remember her as Miss Chatwood. She always had rhythm band, a big sand box and a lots of wooden blocks to play with. Sometimes she would roll up the wall between K and Gr. I (Mrs. Horwood's class) and we would listen to music, march around and sing. Later as a boy soprano I would sing with her in The Cathedral Choir under Mr. Gus Stafford, a pharmacist, who played the organ at The Cathedral. Now in her later years I still sing occasionally with her at St. Luke's on the first Sunday of the month.
