LPQ Literacy
Award
Recipient of the LPQ Literacy Award, 2001 was
Ed McDougall.
Ed, a retired High School teacher, has never
lost his touch nor has ever given up on the power of teaching. Several years
ago, while working as a volunteer tutor with an adult student, Ed also offered
some volunteer time to LPQ. He was invaluable to the office for the work he did
as well as for his wonderful disposition.
Shortly after, LPQ referred Ed to Action ABC
to work with students, as this was clearly Ed's first love. He began to work
with students at one of Action ABC's sites and now works with students at
several of the sites.
Ed is the consummate teacher. He is patient,
respectful and a truly honorable man. In every sense of the word, Ed is a
"gentle man." We are proud to have been able to present this award to him and
thank him for his important contribution to literacy.
