Information sought about teacher at Birch Island School

My father was teacher at Birch Island (or perhaps Clearwater School) in the 1950s

Editor, The Times:

I read with interest your story about Birch Island's 100-year birthday party.

My father was teacher at Birch Island (or perhaps Clearwater School) in the 1950s, but we can't find out exactly when.

I saw that a map of Birch Island had been displayed at the party, prepared by Linda Moss.

Please can you connect me with someone in the area who might know the dates that Jacob Friesen taught at your school?

Also, any information about the school and/or teacherage (if there was one at the time).
