Katherine Shotton, Arts'69
Established a scholarship in memory of late husband, Robert Shotton, BCom'68.
Rob was a committed ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ man and a fundraiser to ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ after graduation. I promised Rob before his untimely death from cancer at age 41, that I would establish something special in his name. Although Rob had a practical career (he had his C.A.), he was a romantic at heart. He always wished he could paint and was proud that I and his three sons could play various instruments. This scholarship then links my interest in education (I am a teacher), his interest in fine arts and our mutual love and loyalty to ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, our alma mater.
Rob and I met at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ in the fall of '65 at a floor dance at Brockington. I was an 18 year old freshette, he a charming 21 year old, gallant and intelligent, tall and with a fading British accent. We married in 1968 after he graduated with his BCom. Our first son Robert was born in Kingston and graduated in '92 from ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ (medal in history). On campus, he was social convenor for his class, on the track team and worked on the Commerceman.
