-Might be a bit late for this because you’ve been profiling Georgetownians for a bit, but could you tell us who they are, what they’ve done or why they were chosen? Thx. 🙂
- I'm putting up pictures for others to post memories or what they've done.. you'll have to read all the comments ;) as for Neil and Wendy .. Neil for Education (teacher and coach at GDHS) and Music, Wendy for her contributions to law enforcement
-Started to do this more as an Education for Georgetowners to learn about the ppl that have been important in the building of this town and who have been in our lives growing up here. Thanks for your feedback :)
-Never had Neil as a teacher but I'm sure lots of you had him in science and as a coach.. My mom use to go to their house for ceramics that wendy taught
- I did ceramics there as well..
-I had him either, those memories are old and fading, but certainly the name Mr. Cotton remains in my memory banks... Thx.
- Very cool!
-Neil and I played hockey together for The Intermediate Raiders around 72-74. He is a true gentleman, fine teacher and a defence partner anyone would want when the fights break out. Students would not mess around with Mr Cotton.
- I recall him as being quite soft spoken, and friendly.
- He was until you poked the Bear. Great Person.
- Mr. C.....watched him when I was a child play hockey..... My kind of player lol!! Neil coached my son on the GDHS "REBELS" hockey team. Andy would tell you the best & most memorial years he played. Fabulous coach!! Europe trip will be forever remembered by those boys...along with winning the only North Halton Hills championship in Rebel history!! Thanks again for your time and dedication Neil!!
- yup, ditto! Rebels once, rebels twice...
-That man was one of the best parts of G.D.H.S. he was the only teacher that never asked me what I was doing out front after the bell rang. He new after I was done he would see me in his class and was perfectly cool with it. Some teachers got it and some didn't.
-I believe Wendy is the President of the Senior Centre here in Town
-Hands down Neil Cotton was my favourite teacher ever
-I remember way back in time when I followed the Raiders Neil Cotton played for Oakville and he was one tough player I was happy when he ended up playing for Georgetown....
- Great choice!!
-Awesome people, individually, and as a married couple of over 50 years! Wendy volunteered with the Victim Services division of Halton Police Services for 25+ years - an amazing accomplishment in itself. My family is so lucky to have them both as friends.
- Mr. Cotton was my science teacher in grade 10 many years ago. He was a great teacher. When he came into the room I couldn't believe how tall he was. Great memory thanks.
-Me too, Gr 10 biology
-I remember Mr. Neil Cotton he was my science teacher he was a fantastic teacher .
-Remember Mr Cotton from school days!!
- Played powder puff ball with Wendy many years ago.
- I had a HUGE crush on Mr. Cotton when I was in his science class!! He was fabulous and never questioned my pazillion ridiculous questions 😂
- I had him for my science teacher..very nice man and looking back he had tons of patience
-See you Wendy at the senior centre soon. Great photo of the two of you.
-Former neighbours! Our sons played rep hockey together. Good folks.
-Mr. Cotton was my oac science in society teacher. He inspired in me a love of science that formed who I am and what I do today. Thank you!
-Our neighbours across the street on McIntyre Cres.
-Mr. Cotton was my grade 10 Physics teachers. Loved that class
-Wasn’t fortunate enough to know Neil and Wendy back in the day. Lucky now to be able to call them friends.
-Great teacher. Was lucky to have had him for science class
-Keep on rocking Sir!
- Such a great family! Kelly was one of my longest friendships in Georgetown from Harrison through high school. And of course at Halton Hills School of Dance!!
- Neil took to Georgetown with a passion when he came to play hockey here, he was awesome to watch play hockey, started teaching at GDHS and was a well liked teacher and mentor for many, coached in minor hockey and high school Rebels, became a very important part of the Raider organization and saved the team when there was conflict and he pulled it back together Wendy has also given much to our community and she also played an important role with the Raiders. Neil turned to his love of music and is a popular entertainer and has written many songs. The Cottons of Georgetown awesome :)
- Neil is a good man!! Good player for the Raiders!! Excellent teacher!! Coached me as Rebel in hockey and football!!
-He taught me science. great teacher
-He was my science teacher as well.
- I only went to GDHS for grade 9. I was trying to figure out why Mr Cotton was familiar to me. My brain works double time when I think of my true home town GEORGETOWN!!@@@
-Great science teacher!
-omg yep I had Mr. cotton too!
-Neil asked me why we still address him as Mr. Cotton, since we have graduated school and moved on ? My response was simply.."because you have earned it, Sir !" I will never forget the look on his face after that reply.
- Good man and mentor to many. Great teacher musician and organizer and leader
-Met Neil as part of the band that played at the McGibbon. He headlined at Village Festival for me at the BIA a couple of years. Great musicians, have such a following in town!
-Neil Cotton Thank you all for your kind remarks regarding Wendy and me. Honoured and humbled.
-Love these guys growing up! ❤️
-Neil you were a fabulous teacher and a fine hockey player someone we all looked up to , as kids a great role model for us all I remember driving to Campbeiton NB to watch the Hardy Cup in 1977 against the Georgetown Raiders and remember chatting with you alongside the boards little did I think the boys from town would suffer defeat I was crushed I went out celebrating with George Berube the MVP it was a bittersweet evening ...
-Ah Mr Cotton, my grade 11 country music counter-part!
-The coolest teacher I ever had!
-And Wendy? Could have settled down to a quiet,
well earned retirement, but is busy being president of our Georgetown Seniors Centre. That’s practically another full time job. Some couple those Cottons are!
- My fave science teacher and you taught me to sing Lily the Pink 🤗
-Great photo!
