Mr. Crookston Retires On October 31, 1982 Mr. Leonard Crookston began a well-deserved rest from his duties as bursar and business manager of Brentwood College. He assumed the position on September 15, 1963, faithfully and competently providing a management service for the nineteen years that followed. When Len began his Brentwood tenure, the school enrolled 156 students and the faculty numbered 16. His advice and skill, particularly on financial and personnel matters, greatly assisted the school during this early stage of its re- establishment period. On the day of Len s retirement 350 students were registered, the faculty stood at 35 and his direct support staff carrying responsibility for maintenance, food and laundry services, transportation, stores, grounds and accounting included 70 others. The school could not have managed this period of exceptional growth without the benefit of Len Crookston ' s professional skills. These strengths notwithstanding, the outstanding feature of Len ' s Brentwood contribution was the dedication and loyalty he inspired through the caring attitude he held towards the hundreds who had the pleasure of working for him and with him, students, staff and parents alike. With confidence it can be said that a spirit of mutual pride and respect exists amongst the many members of the Brentwood community, particularly within those who constitute its staff and student body. This spirit is undoubtedly the creation of many, but amongst those who have made a truly exceptional contribution to it is surely Leonard Crookston. Len understands, as do we all, that without the help and support of Mrs. Crookston, doing the outstanding job he did at Brentwood may have been impossible. All in the Brentwood community join to express sincere thanks to Leonard and Marjorie and to wish them a happy, healthful retirement.
