Barbara's Story
Life in 2001
Hello past friends.
Military brat, 13 different schools, so hard to keep up. Spent 2 years in Switzerland , La Chatelainie, back to Canada , graduated from Brookfield High School and then went to college to become a nurse. Got married had 2 daughters and decided time to go back to university, got my degree in nursing, managed a large emergency department in Ottawa for 8 years. Total burn out and one day a recruiters letter struck me, manager needed to open an emergency dept in ABu Dhabi United Arab Emirates. AFter working in the same hospital for 18 years I shocked everyone by telling them I am going to Abu Dhabi for 6 months. Opened the emergency, had a great time and came home... big mistake, back to same job, health care in Canada a mess, so spent last year searching for another job outside of Canada. I am not head nurse of an emergency dept in Riyadh...Expand for more
Saudi Arabia. At mid life my nomadic ways have come back and I can not stay put any longer. Unfortunate for husband ( whom I have left ) and my 2 daughters who want nothing to do with my travel bug.. Hey you only live once and I dedicated my life to nursing and family for16 years, so time for me.
Love to hear from anyone out there who crossed my path

Life 2015
I am now retired from nursing management, but keep my my mind active by working casual as a nursing supervisor. Not skiing anymore ( knee replacement and rotator cuff repair same year ) Life is good, living in Ottawa Canada where I returned to in 1972 after my 2 years at La Chatelainie. There is a reunion group if anyone interested. Chat is now condos.. bakery still there Grande Vignier is apartments now, all changed but the main building still has the name on it. Cheers to all who visit. Good times
