Gina's Story

Life Hi, Well, those who thought I would make a great Police Officer would be glad to know that I'm a Fire Inspector with the City of Vaughan. I started out as a dispatcher, telling 150 guys what to do and where to go, then in 1990 transferred over to Fire Prevention. That's where I've been for the last, OMG!...27 years. I've attained Acting Captain status, but that still doesn't mean I get to call the shots, just more work! I married Terry O'Flanagan in 1984 and had a daughter, Jennifer, in 1992. Yeah, spitting image and attitude to boot! Terry left me sometime between 2000 and 2005, it's a long story but I found my new love, John Genys in late 2005, totally by accident. We had a dog, but that went with Terry as I didn't have time to care for it and Jennifer was a typical teenager, wanted one but not the work. I went back to school for my job as an Inspector, Seneca College and received two certificates. I'm the first certified Fire Inspector in the Province by the Ontario Fire College and am recognized by the Professional Standards Setting Board.....whatever... I saw my first ever rock concert in 2005 - Green Day of all things and now have a much younger look on life. It's helped a great deal with many things, such as the karate I took for 9 years. The divorce caused many changes and karate was the one thing that help ground me. I was working on my black belt in Okinawan Goju Ryu style of karate, but as life dictates, depression caused me to back away from some things. This has been one of my most difficult accomplishments considering my job and my post high scho...Expand for more
ol training. I'm still learning to 'deal' and it's great! I've tried my own business, one being the production of Fire Safety Plans and the other is as a representative with ACN Canada Inc. The stories aren't that interesting and I'm not involved with any of them now that I'm retired. I haven't travelled much, well, in 1976 I went to France with the RYCI school trip; in 1979 to Hawaii with my Mom, where I learned all about hairpin turns and giant potholes; camping near Parry Sound most summers and last fall to Florida with my daughter and her then boyfriend. Travel now is Wasaga Beach, Toronto (Etobicoke) and St. Petersburg Florida where John and I own a house with lots of tangerine trees. We maintain the four properties in a never ending cycle. lol I'm sorry I missed the reunion, but now that someone really smart has started this forum, I'm really glad I can once again keep in touch with my school mates. I don't check this site often, so it may be a while until I get back to you. If your story and life is more exciting or not than mine, don't let that keep you from sending me an email or drop me a line. I recently met up with someone who I haven't seen since school and was awed by the stories and memories. He's the one who put me on to this, as a kick in the pants, because, probably like most of you, I was putting it off. I'll talk to you soon. Bye for now. Now retired after over 27 years with Vaughan Fire; have a place in Florida to be warm during cold winters. I now live in south Etobicoke with my single daughter and my new love, John. I have a cat named Rave.
