Born in August 1946, therefore, I am 59 years old. I grew up on a general crops farm that has been in my family since 1913. I have never married. I have 2 sisters & 1 brother all married with 2 children each.
Took Home Economics in college & was considering teaching Secondary School. Changed my mind & instead took business training.
Worked in Toronto for 30 years.
Moved back home 4 years ago (2001) to help my Dad look after my Mom who had had several strokes & no memory. Mom died in 2002. Stayed to help my Dad who, at the present time, is 89 years old & still an active farmer.
Interested in handicrafts, gardening (inside & out), my house cats, & family tree research. Also am active in church activities (Presbyterian) & Women's Institute.
Have done family tree research for the Challices that are in this area for almost 25 years and have traced ancestors back to 1830.
