Michael's Story
As we close out 46 years since graduation one has the opportunity to reflect on the ups and downs life presents us. The Pandemic has been life altering for most people and will continue to effect us into the future. Despite extraordinary precautions, everyone (except Daphne) in our family had a bout of the Covid... fortunately no serious after effects. Our daughter is busy with a two and four year old and balancing that with her work as an ER Vet. and teaching Vet tech students at Douglas College part time.. Adrien continues with his career in real estate development and he and his partner are enjoying life in the city in their condo. They are expecting their first child in January 23. Our youngest is finishing up his PhD. in Prostate Cancer research and had his first publication on ground breaking technology for the detection of the type of cancer a patient has through a simple blood analysis..
I had a minor ...Expand for more
setback last December and suffered a "sports induced sudden death". As I left my Crossfit workout I suffered a heart attack... I was fortunate to recognize I was in trouble and pulled into the firehall where the crew took care of me ( resuscitated) as the ambulance hauled me to Royal Columbian. This experience does make one reflect on just how fragile life is. I only required a single stent and was able to return to my usual workout routine 6 weeks post op. I have however, cut back to three days in the office and Daphne is no longer operating the B&B as she is busy on the Port Moody Library Board and Port Moody Foundation.
We spend more time with grandchildren. and continue to recharge our batteries at our ranch up in the Cariboo when ever we can.
I hope all our classmates have seen good fortune in this life and remind all of us to enjoy every day we have.... life can change in a "heart beat" Stay Safe.
