Since my illustrious career in the ics which was great fun I have completed a BscN and MEd, married twice and have three children, Jonathan 21, Jennifer 19 and Megan 8 - yes believe it or not a late baby. I have worked as a nurse in many capacities but the last 15 have been in nursing management and more recently in home care. I work in the Milend district in Montreal and commute from St.Anne de Bellevue. I have lived in St Annes for 22 years and never tire of the place. Music has been a thread throughout my life both piano and singing. After ics I sang in Bethel chapel choir,Union United church choir, St Annes Rennaisance Singers and more recently a trio. I truly believe music is food for the soul and look forward to this voyage into the past with Patriquin and company.

I recently saw Don at the McGill premiere of his composition the Canadian mosiac in which my daughter Megan sang with McGill childrens choir. The creative juices are still all there Don.

Looking forward to seeing you all.
