I just received a note from John Lontos, our teacher and class adviser, about the recent death of Mr. Duane. Many of you, I'm sure, will be saddened by the news of your Latin and French teacher's passing. He had been living in the senior residences, Bristol Glen, on the end of Ryerson Avenue. He was 93.
I know that Mr. Duane was one of the most respected and well-liked teachers at Newton High.
FROM MR. LONTOS:
Mr Duane passed away last Wednesday the 17th.
You recall he taught Latin, among other languages, at Newton. Many of the class may have had him for a teacher.
Funeral service is at 9am Wednesday the 24th, at Smith-McCracken Funeral Home, followed by a 10am mass at St Joe's catholic church. Visitation Tuesday, 23 June, 2 to 4 and 7 to 9. Might be nice to have some former students drop in.
