    Hundreds of students, eager to learn landscape painting from Mathew F. Kousal, trekked to his home at 464 Bridgeport Road. The second storey became the Kousal Art Gallery and Studio, where his old-world manners and all-Canadian paintings produced a winning combination. - Star Newspaper Service, c1949
