A Teacher Affects Eternity: She Can Never Tell Where Her Influence Stops

F. Sultana Hussain

This was evident at the RWTA luncheon, a beautiful Winnipeg Spring day on April 26, 2018, with 150 members in attendance!

The entertainment featured the iconic Winnipeg native Ron Paley on the keyboard accompanied by crooner Glen Matthews doing the vocals and percussion. Hit numbers like: Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World, My Girl by The Temptations, Lean On Me by Bill withers, Mustang Sally by Wilson Pickett, songs by Lionel Richie and Marvin Gale were some of the delightful numbers. Ron Paley swing big band styled music had members up and dancing; as they were enthralled by non-stop hand clapping, whistling, dancing, and swinging interactive music.

The biggest delight however, was to witness the joy in our iconic musician Ron Paley when he recognized his Grade Three Elementary Teacher, Irene Huska, from Florence Nightingale School, in the audience. All he wanted was a picture with “his Teacher.” There was sheer joy in their meeting and greeting. He was pleased that she recalled names of his siblings and friends.
