Inez went to dance school in Calgary. Miss Jean Gauld, late 1920s or mid-1930s. Inez could stretch her leg straight up and touch the top of the doorway with her toes. I do know grandma had beautiful long legs.
According to Archives Canada, "Jean Helen Gauld, 1902?-1984, moved to Calgary, Alberta with her father around 1914. She won many awards for her Highland dancing, and by the age of 14 established herself as a professional dance instructor. She expanded her range to include ballet, ethnic, and modern styles. Later in her career she taught at Mount Royal College and the Montessori School of Calgary." There are photos of her in the Glenbow Archives, Calgary.
According to her son George, Inez was a Congregationalist in Calgary, later became United Church. (Not clear to me from my notes if the Congregationalist Church became the United Church or if Grandma did, hereself.) Also according to George, Mavis Deeves was Grandma's best friend growing up.
