I was saddened to read about the passing of Ruth King.
She was my teacher for two years when I attended the elementary school in Langford that now bears her name.(that was about 60 years ago)
She recognized that I suffered form a learning disability at that time and she would keep me after school and assist me with my studies.
I have never forgotten her kindness and I have always given her a good portion of credit for the success I enjoy today.God bless her.
