I joyously remember Josie as an inspired teacher. From Grade VI to Grade X, I was one of her lucky students. These were the years during the 2nd WW and Jo instilled a genuine interest in world affairs by requiring us, in turn, to report a newsworthy event to the class each morning.
My father, known as, Abou, to the Trew clan, claimed the fame of having hired Jo Nelson since he was a school trustee at the time. She had his admiration and respect for life and he was thrilled when Josie chose to marry his nephew, Allan. So the odyssey of the Nelson – Trew union began. Doug, Dick, Mike and Tim please accept my sympathy as well as my sincerest love for your mother, Josephine (Nelson) Trew.
