As I Remember it

Viola grew up strong willed, challenging herself to succeed while enjoying a good sense of humour, a love of children, an eye for beauty and nature. She received her education in Manitoba Schools, University of Manitoba, in Laval Quebec, and after retirement she proceeded to study Fine Arts in Texas and Arizona. Encouraged by her husband Joseph Dufresne and family, they were very proud of her achievements. Her finest moments of her career were the 34 years teaching children. "As I Remember It" is a five year recount (1934-39) through the eyes of a child as to how a family survived the Dirty Thirties.
