A memorial site for Boni Townsend
by Dirk Townsend – Part 1 (check back for part 2, coming soon)
Boni was driven by love and caring for the people, plants and animals around her. She was inquisitive and well-read on politics, food, agriculture and dozens of other subjects. She was constantly applying her knowledge to care for her surroundings. She felt the pain of the world and wanted to fix it. She was ahead of her time in so many ways. She was brave, selfless and determined.

These are all Google Albums so you can add photos of your own. We would especially like photos and stories about Boni’s school years at Havergal and Sick-kids since we don’t have any of these.
Once you are on the Google Album page, click the ‘more photos’ button inside any of these albums to add your own:
