I've been a teacher for most of my working life and for the past eighteen years, I've been a "professor" at Loyalist College of Applied Arts and Technology in Belleville, Ontario, where I'm the Co-ordinator of the Radio Broadcast Program . Since I've never actually worked in radio, don't ask me how I managed this . But I really enjoy it - and there isn't much I don't know about radio now.

In 1962 while at Mount Allison University, I met Chris Marshall, a young guy from Yorkshire, England. Wouldn't you know I had to come to Canada to meet and marry an Englishman!. Chris has also been an English teacher and retired six years ago after being Head of the English Department at a local high school. He had become quite well known as an outdoors writer and fly fisherman. When he retired he decided to publish his own fly fishing magazine, and for the past five years we've put out four issues a year of The Canadian Fly Fisher magazine.

Chris and I have three sons, Mike, Jay and Luke. Mike is married to Mia and we now have two granddaughters, Lea and Camille. We live in an old brick farmhouse on the outskirts of Belleville, with two acres of garden, four cats and lots of fish in a large pond.
