Brenda's Story
I have lived in Riverdale, Toronto, for 25 years, with my second husband. Our daughter, Hanna is now practicing law in Washington, D.C. Gerard and I met at UofT Law and graduated in 1980. He continues to practice, while I have been retired since I was happily fired in 1996 or so. Time is spent with Paterson, our Newfoundland dog - walking, brushing, etc. The high energy person I was at LPCI hit the wall somewhat when I became epileptic in 1979. I have been able to keep up fitness with much walking, as well as Synchronized Swimming (you don't get hot in the pool). The late part of the summer and early fall are spent at the cottage - the Spaulding cottage on Lake Mazinaw is now mine (169A Mazinaw Heights Rd. N - do visit). Due to Gerard's area of practice (aviation and human rights) have allowed travel over much of the world, often off the beatten track.

I'm looking forward to the reunion in the fall. I'm great with facial memory (none of us have changed, right?) but terrible with names. Please forgive.
I am still in touch friends I have had since Grade One (JRR). Then, they were Linda Chubb and Leslie Wright. Unlike me, they swiched to their married names. I don't find them in the 1969 list, although they expect to attend the reunion also.
My first job was at Lloyd's Cricket Ground in London, UK. Remember typywriters you had to have strength in your fingers to use? When I got off the ship in London, in September, 1969 to attend a secretarial course for 6 months, the Immigration guy looked at my passport and said "Oh, one of us" and stamped 'one year, work-study' on the page he was looking at. The best thing about that year was that the person who had planned to come with me (from McGill) decided not to come. Being on my own let me try out a few 'different Brenda's'. In the end, I realized I was quite content with the person I had become (and still am).
