In response to the many tributes that alumni have shared with her about about her beloved husband, Jack Garstang (17 October 2010), Jean would like to share the following article with you.
>> The International School of Geneva, by J. G. Garstang
From Jean Garstang, Veyrier, 15th August 2010 "Jack Garstang wrote this article in January 1965 for
the magazine of The Polytechnic, Regent Street, London where he held the
position, before coming to Ecolint, as Assistant to the Organiser of Physical
Activities for the University Students, during the 3 years he spent at the
Polytechnic, he also discovered his talent for writing and produced many
articles for national newspapers and journals on Physical Educations and Sports
and the teaching of those subjects.
Being in London also gave him close contact with the publishing
world. He published no less than 6 books.
However, this never changed his first love, teaching, and
we were fortunate to find a teaching post and adventure in coming to Geneva and
Ecolint.
During his career of 31 years (1961 – 1992) his
respect for the ideals of the school and the joy he took each day (and night)
from passing on his own high standards and knowledge to thousands of young
people remained.
He was an excellent teacher and a very patient loving
father and husband."
