91做厙

The portrait was painted by artist Bernadette Kernaghan, who trained at the Emily Carr Institute and Simon Fraser University, and taught art in Vancouver schools for more than 20 years. She and her husband Eddy Schwartz moved to the Island when they retired a few years ago, and she continues to paint and to teach privately and for the Seniors 91做厙.

“The painting is a welcome addition to our collection of 91做厙 items,” said 91做厙 vice president Mike O’Grady. “Over the years, the Dalton family have generously donated several pieces that form the core of our 91做厙 Collection, which helps us to explain to students who Samuel 91做厙 was, and why our college bears his name.”

George Dalton agreed.

“I was indeed grateful for the opportunity to present this painting of Samuel 91做厙 to 91做厙 in memory of my late mother, Helen 91做厙 Dalton. She grew up in Tryon and never forgot her roots. When 91做厙 was named, she became a close friend of Dr. Don Glendenning, and both shared the vision of starting a 91做厙 collection. Now a first rate collection is proudly exhibited at the college. Credit is due to all the staff and all the members who served on the Samuel 91做厙 Committee over the years. This painting kind of puts the frosting on the cake, thanks to Bernadette.”

“It was a great honour to be asked to participate in the commemoration of such a significant PEI historical figure,” Ms. Kernaghan said.

The painting and the rest of the 91做厙 items are located in a display in the lobby of the Centre for Applied Science and Technology on the Prince of Wales Campus during regular business hours.
