Allison's Story
Life
Hi everyone! Hard to believe it's been 25 years! I left Swift after graduation and went to Brandon University to do a music degree in singing - probably not a surprise to most people. After that I went down to Arizona State University to do a Masters in Music. That was much easier than figuring out what to do in the real world. After AZ, I moved back to Manitoba, to Winnipeg, to where my oldest sister was, and all my undergrad friends. I spend two very fun years working at CBC. I sang on the the TV show Hymn Sing, and trained as an Assistant Producer in radio. I taught singing and started towards getting certified in Education. I got the chance to teach in various school divisions in Winnipeg, filling in mat leaves, sick leaves, educational leaves, etc. That was a lot of fun. I got to spend a lot of time in my sister's classroom watching her teach, which was amazing. Then, as these things goes, I met my husband, and we moved to Ottawa.

awa - Winnipeg - Toronto - Ottawa. We've been back here in Ottawa for 10 years. Long enough for Ontario to feel like home. Wild thought, but there it is. We have three kids. Gillian (12), Malcolm (9), Jenny (7). I taught Kindermusik while they were young. It was a natural fit. We've had some health issues with our son, which has given me the wonderful chance to spend lots of time learning about alternative medicine and energy healing over the last five years. I have that 'perpetual student' syndrome thing, I guess. Dave is a management consultant and investor and I am enjoying 'just' being Mom. I am SO thankful I don't need to work. I bow in awe to all of you who manage to be a parent and have a full time job. So, all my former SCCHS classmates - here is your mission, should you choose to accept it: Post your own bio & pics, and contact everyone from our calss that you can.
