Well. life has been a challenge. Some good and some not. I really enjoy catching up with old friends and have reconnected with a few in recent years. I find it so interesting to learn what path's former acquaintences have followed in life. I have lived in Winnipeg for close to 30 years and recently discovered an old WCI classmate has also been here for several years. We met this past summer for lunch and it was if the clock had been turned back. Turns out our lives have had some interesting parallels along the way. We plan to meet again when time allows. I ended up a federal civil servant, now retired and with a very busy life. I have travelled alot in recent years, often on my own. I've had quite the adventures away from home! More to follow when I'm ready to share more detail... Greetings to all old friends. I would love to hear from you! I always wanted to be a movie star when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a bit unrealistic idea. As it turns out, they were right... However, not to be deterred, once I retired I did manage to get on a few film sets. Not as a star but rather as an extra. After a few movies, the novelty wore off when I realized how NOT glamorous it was. And I retired from that too. I will never regret the experiences I had in my "acting" career. I was quite fascinated by the whole process of movie making and I did get to see a few real movie stars up closer than a theatre or tv screen. By far the nicest and most caring individual was Patrick Swayze. He was the only "star" who ever took time to even acknowledge the extras on set. So sad that this wonderful actor has been struck by cancer. I am living part time in Toronto these days and loving being back in the old home town. Best wishes to all of my former classmates as we all tackle the challenges of growing older. And now the question of weird job(s)!! My first real summeer job was in a seed factory counting seed packets. Next I worked in a darkroom splicing together 35mm slide film in to huge long reels for processing. And one summer I was secretary to a private eye. Yep a real live detective, who even drove a big fancy convertible like the guys on "77 Sunset Strip". Alas however his cases were not particularly exciting and I decided to continue on with my education once summer ended. I sure would be curious to hear how others respond to the wierd job category. Well, I hope to hear from someone fro...Expand for more
