Heather's Story
After Bowman, went to UofS for 2 years, Married Jim Orr in '74 & moved away from S'toon for a couple of years. Back in S'toon by '76, we got a mortgage & had 2 beautiful daughters together - Cara & Jana, so my degree was put on hold. Sadly Jim & I divorced in '88.
I am now very happily married to Kirk Bacon (Walter Murray alum). We blended our kids a la Brady Bunch style in 1990, and I gained 3 great stepsons - Kent, Paul & Rob. We've been very blessed that our 5 kids got along so well and have all grown up to become accomplished & successful.
I had a close scare with cancer in 1998, but after major surgery, chemo & radiation, I had a bit of a miraculous recovery thanks to several complementary therapies and the love & incredible support of Kirk, our kids, my family & good friends. While recuperating, I managed to finally finish my BA in Psychology & Women's & Gender Studies in 2001, and also learned a lot about nutrition & healthy lifestyles.

y just keeping up with our big family. 4 out of 5 of our kids are now married (3 weddings in 8 mos, the 4th a year later) & they have spread out, living in Saskatoon, Regina, Shaunavon & Calgary. As of Feb 2011,, they have provided us with 7 grandkds in the last 4 years (4 were born within 8 mos of each other & we suspect #8 might be in progress - I keep very busy visiting my babies. I've been quite occupied organizing & preparing for weddings & babies - my sewing machine has been humming. Also was very involved with ABCI's 50th Reunion in 2008 - it was so much fun reconnecting with old friends & meeting so many other alumni.
Over the years I've had many jobs in many sectors - C of S Recreation Dept, senior citizens' rec director in small town MB, farm implement dealership in Outlook, several S'toon businesses: law firm, accounting firm, road building company, retail mall management, provincial government & federal government positions & SIAST. But the best job I've had by far is being "Nani" to all my babies.
That's my story to date. What's yours?
