Marguerite's Story

I have hesitated to write anything because it is an extensive story. I will hit the high points. I was married to Bill in 1965 and am still married to him. I have 2 boys both born in Canada, between sessions overseas. Trevor was born in 1970 and Todd in 1974, they are both doing their own thing.. There is 1 Grandchild "Jamie" 29 yrs old. Bill was in the forces when I met him while in grade 12. We moved to Ottawa on a military posting in 1967. In 1970 we moved to Poland for 2 yrs with External affairs and then came a progression of Postings, Pakistan 1974, Malaysia 1978, Nigeria 1981, Philippines 1983, Washington D.C. 1986 and then back to Ottawa to retirement. Which is where we are now, retirement that is, we live in Kemptville, about 35 KM south of Ottawa. I retired from 10 yrs with working with various Veterinarians both in the USA and Canada. I still work I have my own business, called "SEW BE IT" I do costumes for dance (retired from the costumes Oct.2015) too much hassle getting payments., I do various alterations for all and sundry. I have about 300 clients. The reunion was fabulous I never thought in my life I would attend one but I am so glad I did. I saw a lot of old friends and a whole lot I would have loved to connect with were not there. Maybe next time. I see a lot of names in my guest book and I wish you would at least say Hi. M November 2016 On a sad note, anyone who knew Bob (Rob) Potuzak would want to know he died of Cancer. So sad...Expand for more
as he and I had known each other since grade 7 at Gladstone. High School. He lived in Panama City, Panama and therefor out of reach for a visit. . M Rob died on Oct. 22, 2016 RIP Rob. I miss you we were friends for 59 years. Bill will turn 81 yrs old as of Feb. 6/2023, he has had open heart surgery and a couple of stents . I guess we are like old cars, you replace a part and another one goes. I said I would trade him in on tw0 35 yr olds, but somehow I feel that would be like raising 2 more kids. My health is good, asthma and Arthritis are my problem, although I haven't smoked for over 28 yrs., it has ruined my lungs, but we keep plugging along. Good to wake up everyday above the grass instead of under it. We have 2 Corgis, Pixel and Bentley over the years we have had 11 corgis, the first one I showed (lots of work) now we just have pets. We now own a "Snow Lynx Bengal cat" Bill has always wanted one , and he finally got his way. Nothing much to add accept COVID and it's been toooooo long so far and no end in sight! Glad to see end of lockdowns is here and we can resume a more normal way of life. More to come anon . Not much more to add accept hope all of you have a better year ahead. The clocks go forward tomorrow March 12, 2023 and thank God one of my sons will be here, This clock I have shines the time on the ceiling and it's very complicated to reset. Til I have to change some info in this blurb, have a Happy Spring and Summer 2023.
