Unjorgettctote aunt Isabel is subject for creative writing
Editor's Note: Isabel Margaret Macintosh
passed away January 17. Margaret Mac-
Kenzie, daughter-in-law of Frank and
Muriel MacKenzie of Kinloss Township,
- wrote this story about Aunt Isabel as an
assignment for a course at Seneca College
in 1982 entitled An Unforgettable Person.
• Margaret has submitted it for the interest
of our readers.
Unforgettable Aunt Isabel
• I ring the buzzer for apartment 609 and
in a few minutes we hear the high pitched
lilt carried through the intercom: "Hel-
l000 !
"Hello, Aunt Isabel. It's Rod, Margaret
and Michele." One of us call as loudly as
we can into the speaker. Before our an-
nouncement is finished, the automatic lock
.on the lobby door clicks open and we bustle
in, ladden down with assorted bags and
dishes of food for the lunch to be served
later that afternoon.
• We enter the dimly lit elevator. Seconds
later the doors roll open and there she is
standing in the hallway. Her dainty, fragile
form is clad in a black, rose covered dress
with high collar and long - sleeves. Her
thinning white hair is arranged with care
under a fine net on top of her proud upright
head. Fine wire spectacles rest -on the
bridge of her straight Scottish/ nose. The
creases of her kindly, old face deepen with
an anticipating smile. She tilts her head to
ohe side listening for us. Her eyesight and
hearing have lost much of the sharpness of
Youth.
"Hello, Aunt Isabel. Here we are." We
chorus. She gives a little start, then beams.
"Well hello, hello! I'm so glad to see the
three of you!" She sings in her bright and
bonnie voice, as she reaches out to hug and
kiss all of us at the same time. We
surround her and happily make our way up
the long hall to the tiny one bedroom
apartment that has been her home for 20
years.
We enter and the doorlhuds shut behind
us. The room is an enchanting clutter of
dainty old furniture. A Queen Anne settee
sits against the far wall, bulging with half a
dozen silk cushions and a neatly folded
taitap lap rug. Assorted satin covered
chairs with shapely wooden arms and legs
are arranged here and there about the
•

•
rohm. Lamps of varying shapes and sizes
rest sedately on finely.carved wooden side -
tables. Bookcases and magazine' .racks are
nestled in any remaining nooks and
crannieS. On her aged oak desk under the
window lies the large magnifying glass she
needs these days to help her read and
write.
We cross theladed Persian rug and seat
ourselves -- one of us beside Aunt Isabel on
the settee, the other two bringing. their
chairs in close. Cosy and relaxed, we soak
• up the peaceful , atmosphere of the room.
For the next few hours we are transported
to another space in time through the
personal experiences and memories
brought delightfully to life by the animated
