Daryl's Story

Life Well, there's no better place to start than the beginning so here goes. After Erindale, I went to study Engineering at Western. After a wasted two years, I met up with Russell Cruickshank and we both got hired by Walt Disney World to work at the opening of EPCOT Centre. While we were there, I met another Canadian, Linda, and we became a couple. On return to Canada, I went back to Western: this time studying English Lit with the ambition of eventually getting into Law School. Linda and I got married and before I graduated, we had our first daughter. After graduation, I didn't go on to Law School but in one of those crazy turns of life wound up an Air Navigator in the Air Force! I spent twelve years flying in the military, Linda and I had two more daughters, and in 1999, I took my release from the military so Linda could pursue her ambition of practicing midwifery. We decided to move to Scotland. In 2002, things weren't going too well between Linda and I and we separated. Linda and Rosy, our youngest, have moved to California and we are now divorced. In 2003 I returned to life as a student working towards my master of social work degree at the University of Edinburgh. Ariel, our eldest, also studied in Edinburgh, graduating with her degree in music, and is living in Halifax. Marina, the middle child, graduated with her Law degree from the University of Aberdeen (also in Scotland) and is now fin...Expand for more
ishing her legal studies in Edinburgh. She has been offered an internship with one of the firms in town. I'm working with a youth drugs team, helpiung young people who are involved with drugs and/or alcohol and in some cases offending. The Masters degree affords me a great amount of flexibility as far as where I can work (effectively anywhere in the Commonwealth and then some) and I've become aware of a little of the wanderlust that has possessed me for most of my life. What do I like to do in my spare time? Well, I am one of those crazy fools who for some reason enjoys running. I suppose it's more jogging really. I consider myself to have an active lifestyle: I cycle everywhere, go indoor wall climbing at least once a week, and have a reputation for trying to encourage people to join me in innovative ways to "risk life and limb"(or so I'm told! I admit to being a bit of an adrenaline junkie). I love going to the movies and this is beginning to sound too much like a lonely hearts thing! It would be nice to catch up with people from Erindale and I look forward to hearing from any of you. By the way, the picture was taken on a visit home in the summer of 2004 (I know, I need to provide a more current one!). That's me with my neice, Samantha, at my brother Mike's place. Mike and my sister, Julie, are both married and living in the Mississauga area. I try to visit them for a couple weeks every summer.
