Interview with I. Freedman by R. Ormerod May 17, 2004

I. Freedman: There was one teacher.

R. Ormerod: Just the one? Ok.

I. Freedman: His name was Sharony. This was a very interesting, a very colourful individual. He was a peddler. He peddled. . . textiles and all kinds of . . . little things people might want along the way. He would buy odd job lots and things.

And, he would leave Timmins on Monday and he'd do the rounds and he would peddle during the day and after school he would meet the children at certain days and at certain times at the synagogue, and he would teach them. He went from Timmins to Iroquois Fall to Ansonville, to Kirkland Lake, to Cobalt. Then he went over to Rouyn and he taught over there and then he'd swing back. And he prepared it from 1967 on (that is from my time) he prepared all the Bar Mitzvah boys.
