Diane's Story
Life
Hi Former Crescentites!!!
Hasn't this life been an interesting one; definitely different than I expected.
I stayed in Calgary until 1987, except for 10 months in 1971-72 in Swift Current, Sask. which was a transfer with Mobil Oil. 1987 moved to Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California until 2002, when I moved to Nanaimo.
My 94 year old mother is in Nanaimo in Assisted Living, my step-father passed away 2 years ago, and my sister now lives in Penticton. My brother and wife live in Victoria.
Education-wise I went to Business College after high school and later to University of Calgary for a certificate in Human Resources.
My job for the last 17 years of my paid employment was in human resources departments for large corporations (including Petro-Canada in Calgary before I moved to California) as relocation manager....I relocated employees from city to city and country to country. In 2002 I moved to Nanaimo to start a non-profit. Our volunteers took their pets to visit one-to-one with lonely seniors in long-term care facilities. My little dog Hank (who passed away recently) visited the elderly with me, too, and also a very disabled little boy. Unfortunately, I have to close the doors on the non-profit....we've brought smiles and friendship t...Expand for more
o hundreds of seniors in the past 11 years. Mom needs me more now, and we could not find new Board members.
I was never able to have children but had a foster son and took in a teenager. Also I had 2 step-children.
I've been divorced for a long time and keep myself busy and in fairly good shape.....my garden and my other dog help me with that, as well as hiking, etc.
I still like to go dancing, love it here on the Island, and have done some wonderful world travelling...my last big trips were to China and Italy. Have been to Portugal, Greece, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Israel, Turkey, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil, and Las Palmas. I have visited my California friends, and have kept in touch with friends in Calgary. With cousins on the Island and the mainland, it was the right decision to move here.
I'm also interested in the world, cultures, human and animal rights, the environment, etc., so one never stops learning.
I've connect with a few former Crescentites on the Island and mainland.....fun to exchange stories.
