Lynne's Story
Life
My life ....let's see. Got quite sick in grade 12 & missed about 3 months so had to repeat in '70. Was great actually because I had only had Chemistry 12 & Math 12 to worry about. We bought a lot on the Sunshine Coast in '74 and left the big city in '76. Built our own house from the ground up (what a lot of work!) & we are still here. Changed jobs from crunching numbers to working as a long term care aide around 1984. Had a fight with a type of pancreatic cancer & obviously I WON. Decided to work on a casual basis & do some volunteer work. Became very active in our local union (HEU) for a lot of years. Retired early in 2001 and continue to do volunteer work.

m Burnaby North in '69 about a reunion....hmmm.
Update Nov. 2011; It's been tough these past 3 years. My father developed kidney disease, so I was back and forth a lot. At the same time our community started a battle to stop an industrial fish processing plant from locating on the neighbourhood flood plain. Took the district to court on a technicality and won. A year ago my Father passed away from complications due to kidney disease and I am the executrix. This Nov. saw the fish processing company and a local business group out spend us by many, many thousands of dollars on advertising , so we now have a completely "business" council ready to do this company's bidding. Sometime's life does seem at all fair, but we have not given up yet.
