Thinkers Lodge Histories

​Patsy Cox
July 2017
Interview by Cathy Eaton

Patsy Cox is from Dartmouth, but she lives in a cottage on the Gulf Shore part of the year. She bought the cottage three years ago.  Patsy was here on Canada Day weekend watching the pipers circle the Thinkers Lodge in a competition. That was the first time she toured the Lodge. She became very interested. Patsy met Teresa at an open Mic at The Lobster Factory and offered to volunteer. In September of 2016, Patsy began doing tours. She is very glad that the meetings are continuing. She was intrigued that Cyrus Eaton after completing his business endeavors for the day would read poetry, literature, philosophy, and religion.  Although he did not stay a Baptist minister, he stayed true to his roots that believed in forming relationships.  He was a leader among world leaders and scientists.  He was respected in that circle.
 
Patsy was a special ed teacher from elementary to high school.  She began her interest in special ed when she worked at a camp.  She went to University to learn how to write her own curriculum.   She worked 26 years as an educator. She has a son, daughter, and three granddaughters, who live in Canada but not in the province.
