When it became one of many classes discontinued by the school, Vincent and her students simply went independent and moved to a meeting room at the Friends House retirement community in Rincon Valley. Vincent was born Gertrude Chertkow in Calgary, Alberta, in 1925. 'At 5,' she wrote in 1989, 'I first decided I wanted to be a newspaper reporter.' She met teacher Hector Buroker in Vancouver during World War II. They married in 1948 and came to California in search of opportunity four years later. The former Geets Buroker worked as a newspaper reporter and studied English and library science, earning degrees at UC Berkeley and Sonoma State University. She and her first husband moved to Sonoma County in 1961. Geets Buroker wrote for the former Santa Rosa News Herald and other local weeklies and for a time collaborated with Polly Huntsinger on a children's crafts column in The Press Democrat. She divorced in 1969, a year after she began teaching at SRJC. In 1980, she married Stuart Vincent, a widowed World War II veteran and American Cancer Society volunteer. They lived happily until his death in 2004. In addition to teaching the family-like writing class for adults, Geets Vincent wrote freelance pieces for a variety of newspapers and publications such as travel and antiques magazines. Right up until her stroke in 2010, she savored putting stories to paper and seeing her byline in print. Geets Vincent died on Sept. 7, 2014 in Santa Rosa, California. She was 89."},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Vincent, Geets G., 1925-2014"]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by Geets G.
