"Then I walk around the block to get back home," she adds. "M om listens to the radio every night to find out what time the sun rises," says daughter Kim Frid, who with her sisters Lyn Ruddy, Gail Brearley and Kathy Brearley, decided to have the bench dedicated to Edith Walsh Brearley, "with an added sentence about the view from the bench." It was signed LGKK - an acronym for Lyn, Gail, Kathy and Kim. She goes down every morning, regardless of the weather, says Kim. "Everybody who lives at the foot of Trafalgar Road recognizes her." On particularly bad winter mornings, she will drive her car to the foot of Trafalgar Road, "and walk to the park bench. But, if she can't get there, she'll sit in her car, have her coffee, and watch the sun rise." Brearley, a music teacher, moved to Oakville in 1947, and has lived downtown, near her favorite park bench, since 1975. She has taught music for nearly 70 years, and says "I still love it," and continues to teach piano and theory full time to students o f all ages. "I prepare students for recitals, exams, and festi vals." She started teaching music while still in high school. She learned to play piano `by ea r' at a very young age, and gave her first recital at age five. By age 16, she had her music degree. Brearley is a mem ber o f the Royal Conservatory of Music.
