I met Claire when he was the Co-ordinator of Gifted education for the Peel District School Board. He was the visionary architect of the gifted education model for Peel which included his Consultants, Enhanced Learning Teachers (ELT's), Contained Gifted Class teachers and an annual summer camp for gifted students at the University of Toronto, Mississauga Campus. I had the privilege of working with Claire from 1985 to 1991 as both an ELT and contained classroom teacher and then an assistant director at the July camp in 1993. Claire was an extraordinary and brilliant educator who created incredible opportunities for Peel's gifted students to receive the differentiated special education that encouraged so many of them to be engaged and challenged in their education and to further develop their gifts and talents and to thrive. I feel as a teacher and colleague of Claire's that I had the same opportunity, and became a much better teacher than I otherwise would have been. Thank you, Claire, for being the special individual that you were, and for the perseverance and leadership you provided on behalf of so many students and teachers in Peel. I want your family to know that you were respected and appreciated and I extend my sincere condolences. I am proud to have known you and to have worked with you. Rest in peace.
