In Memoriam James McQuade Bourne Educator 1967-1987 Father Teacher Friend Mr. James McQuade, a very successful businessman, made an important decision in September, 1967. He decided to change careers and became a teacher. Entering his chosen profession as a grade four teacher at the Stone School, he eventually moved up to grade six. This quiet and self-assured man quickly established himself as a classic” gentleman whose family orientation and traditional values permeated his role as teacher and colleague. A subtle, dry wit and warm smile further characterized this “gentle” man. He would often speak with great pride of his three grandchildren, and his tales of fishing and flytying still echo in the teachers’ room. Many a student will recall with fond memories the special oriental dinner which evolved from Mr. McQuade’s social studies classes each year. We can still picture him in his ornate kimono walking among his students and chatting with them. Many others still will remember his greeting and recognition individually as he stood by the door each morning, with a, Hello, Beautiful! Hi, Handsome!” We, his colleagues, will never forget his penchant for organization and his systematic approach to everything. Most of all we’ll remember how he always made us feel welcome, and accepted. “Jim, your light still shines within the hearts of all you’ve touched.” 15 i
