Jamie's Story

After graduating 38 years ago and experiencing lifes ups and downs I thought I would look up classmates, to see what everyone else has been doing all this time and especially as retirement comes closer and closer for all of us 50 somethings. I am not very computer savvy, so it takes a while to learn the websites. I enjoy meeting new people and traveling to different places. My father, Msgt. James Bernard Canning, served in the US Air Force for 23 years. I think that is where I grew to love travel and making new friends. We traveled so much I attended 11 schools before I entered my Sophomore year in high school. I have one son, Sean 34, and one daughter, Therese 31, from my first mariage of 10 years. Nine years later, I married my second husband, Leo. We met on St. Patrick's Day in 1989-the "Luck" of the Irish for me. We have been together now 21 years, and married for 16 years on July 16th. My daughter Therese gave us our grandson, Braedon on September 28,2002. He has auburn hair like me, but brown eyes. I moved myself and my children here to the Vancouver, WA area in 1987 and I have lived here in this area for all that time. I graduated from Clark College, Vancouver WA in 1988 with an A.A.S in Office Administration. My life has not been boring. Several people, including my...Expand for more
Aunt Gwen, have suggested I write a book on my life-as it could help others in difficult times of life. Right now life has been extremely busy in many ways and at times extremely stressful. SO I thought to take a look at Classmates.com and FaceBook, for a few minutes once in a while to get away from it all... I have enjoyed designing the new gardens in our yard at our new home with Leo's help. We enjoy summer barbecues with friends in our new home, among other things. Leo and I have traveled to Acapulco, Mexico, Italy, Peru and Ireland together and want to return for longer times after he retires this next year. Leo is from Peru and his family lives in Lima. They are delightful and very loving. Leo likes to tease friends and has a zaney sense of humor, which has kept us together in tough times over the years.We enjoy doing things together. We have two cats now. Callie is an 8 lb. calico-colored tabby and is 8years old. She is extremely gentle and loves attention. Dominic is a pure black 2 year old that weighs 15 lbs. I refer to him as our Teenage terrorist. He is afraid of nothing! I work part-time for Catholic Community Services, as a caregiver in Long Term Care--in people's homes. I have been in this field of work for 25 years off and on again. I prefer it to office work.
