My Bio
|
I was born and raised in Dauphin, Manitoba and then moved to Winnipeg when I entered nursing. After getting my R. N. I worked for a number of years in Obstetrics @ the Health Science Centre [ Womens Center] as an assistant Head Nurse.
I met and married Jack when he was working as a probation officer for the city of Wpg. We were married in 1964 when he was in 2nd year medicine. Our oldest daugther, Jeanne was born in 1968 and we adopted Carolyn in 1971. I stopped nursing after I had 2 back surgeries and when my girls were young. In 1979 Jack & I co-founded Project Opikihiwawin which was a support for families who had adopted or fostered aboriginal children. I continued for the next 20 years working as a full time volunteer in this cross cultural area of adoption. I am now 65 years old and am still busy learning & enjoying what life has to offer. I still reside in Winnipeg

Things I Don't Mind The World Knowing
|
Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about... |
"The Kiss of the Sun": my love of gardening and of photography combined in a book about my
garden at our home on Southmoor Road.
"Amidst the Simple Beauty" : a coffee table book with a collection of my favourite photographs
that I have taken over the last several years from near & far. |
