Class of '61

21 December 2005

I graduated from the Victoria General Hospital Nursing School in Halifax in 1965 and went on to take a Diploma in Public Health Nursing at Dalhousie University. I worked with the VON in North Sydney and Halifax and was the discharge planned at the V.G. I married John Anderson, a Pediatrician at the IWK Children's Hospital, in 1970. I have two children Heather (married to Justin McDonough) who is a Physiotherapist at the QE11 Health Center in Halifax and has two children. David is a Computer Programmer in Boston. He lives with his partner, Mandy Dickinson, who is finishing a Post Doctorate in Neurobiology at MIT.

I did a Nursing Refresher course in 1981 and went back to Nursing (after ten years at home). The last five years that I work I was the Liaison Nurse in the Chief Medical Examiner's office doing suicide follow-up (psychological autopsies).
My husband and I are retired and living on the ocean in St. Margaret's Bay, after living in Halifax for thirty years.

I am looking forward to attending the MHS Reunion in Aug. 2006.

I've been out of touch with my roots for more than 30 years. Not sure if it is possible, but I would dearly lovely to reconnect with the world I came from. Can't even remember my class year, but think it was about 61-62. Have been down many roads since I left school, as a journalist and in law enforcement. It is time to hopefully reconnect with reality.

Thanks for listening,

Currently teaching English in universities here in Japan for the last 15 years. No, I still don't speak the language, it just goes in one ear and out the other but I do manage--something like my bad French! Lived in New York, got my Masters and then went on to get on Broadway ( acting and as stage mangager) as well as playing extras in many films, washing a lot of dishes, serving a lot of drinks, and anything else to make a buck to pay for all the acting, voice, dance lessons, etc., necessary to make it! Now, in Japan I am mainly a teacher but have acted on TV ( took till 4:00am to learn 5 lines!) been in some commercials, had an art exhibit, and am now going to be published in a university journal. No, I never married but had my chances. Now I have two men in my life who are in their 40's and keep me wonderfully happy. ( Not at the same time! but all is honest in that they know each other--scheduling scheduling scheduling!) Will be going to Thailand for vacation at the end of the school year which is end of January, beginning again in March. Have been all over South East Asia with Thailand my favorite country.
