Where to start? My last year at BC Silver High was 1969 (Grade 11). I graduated from
J L Ilsley High in 1970 with Grade 12 and an Accounting Certificate. I later attended Mount St Vincent and SMU as a mature student. In 1973 I married my high school sweetheart, John Druhan, and we have one son that lives in Toronto. For the next few years I followed John around the country while he worked as a pipefitter. We have lived in Halifax, Prince George BC, Edmonton Ab, Saint John NB, Fall River NS, Dartmouth & Halifax (in that order). I worked at the NS Liquor Comm Head Office, Boys & Girls Club NS, Prince George Pulp & Paper, NB Tel and the Council of Maritime Premiers NB. Upon returning to NS, where John took a job teaching at NSCC, I worked 22 years at CRA and then 9 years before retiring moved to Industry Canada where I worked as an Official Receiver with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. I retired in 2007 and have to say that this is the best job that I have ever had! We now live in East Lahave, Lunenburg Co on the beautiful Lahave River. My cottage is an apartment in Clayton Park. I figure if the city folk can have their cottages in Lunenburg County then I can have mine in the city. Life is good! Looking forward to seeing some "old faces" at the reunion. And I mean that in the nicest way! Cheers!
