Vance Whiteside:

I worked in the mailroom and was a student at Vanier College, Snowden Campus from 1975 to 1978. Ann had an infectious smile that would make me melt when she came to the mailroom window. Ann was a sweet, kind, generous person and together with Mary Alice and Gretchen, made the Humanities Department an outstanding centre of learning and discovery. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. Good bless and Rest In Peace.
