Marilyn's Story
Life
Just living my life to the fullest! I retired at 55 from my family business, the former Winnipeg Bias Fabrics Mfg. Co.

I have two fantastic children! Ron and Sheri. Both are now happily married. I have recently been blessed with my first grandson, on June 1, 2007, courtesy of Sheri and Corey. Ironically June 1st was the exact day my Dad passed away - 40 years earlier (1967).
My present interest, other than my family, is online stock trading. It's really very interesting! It certainly keeps one up to date on what is going on in the business/financial world.
