Mother and son graduate from university together By Pioneer Staff Larry and Mary Root of Invermere are proud parents and grandparents. Their daughter Tanis Fenton graduated with her Ph.D. in Health Sciences from the University of Calgary last week, along with her son Read Fenton, who was awarded his engineering degree. Larry and Mary Root moved to Invermere in 1971 when Larry became administrator of the Invermere Hospital. His wife Mary was a nurse. The couple raised three children here: Kevin, Tanis, and Ardis. Kevin, who graduated from the local high school in 1973, has his Ph.D. in Geology. Tanis graduated from David
Thompson Secondary School in 1974, took her bachelor’s degree in home economics from the University of Alberta and her master’s degree in nutrition from the University of Toronto before moving to Calgary, marrying Patrick Fenton and raising three children. Her son Read is following in his father’s footsteps by becoming an engineer. Tanis’s second child Carol has completed three years of the health sciences program at the University of Calgary, and the youngest daughter Heather is attending the Alberta College of Art. And Larry’s and Mary’s third child, Ardis, who graduated from the local high school in 1978, is the vice-principal of a technical school in Montreal. Congratulations to Tanis, Read and the rest of this accomplished family!
