Peters recalls various oc-
casions that showed the
esteem in which Beaumont
was ‘held.

Just ‘before last Christmas,
a grade nine art class created
an 8ft; by 6ft. mural of him,
with about 20 students each

__being ‘responsible for a_sec-. ..

tion of the rtrait: which
had: diverse images of the

school around it.

This week the mural was
hung in a corridor of the

school and students‘and staff:

paid their last respects.
HONORED BY ALL

Peters said Beaumont was
honored by everyone invalv-
ed in education — from
students to superintendents,

“The district organized a
Dean Martin style roast for

him, where he was roasted °

by his teachers and col-
leagues and people like
George Pederson, President
of SFU, were roasting him.
That was the measure of how
he was honored.

“People were clamoring
for tickets and about 50 peo-
ple paid $10 to go to the
evening at Canyon Gardens
in February.” "

But what - Peters
remembers best is the sight
of 1,200 people singing hap-

the day he left.

Beaumont lived alone at
332 East 14th Street and
leaves a son in North Van-
couver and a daughter in
Squamish.
