After grade 11, I went to Vocational School and got a secretarial diploma. Worked for years in different offices and firms, chartered accountants, legal and medical. In 1981, I met my future husband, Thomas Velthuis (Royal Dutch Navy) in Halifax. He'd asked me to come to the Netherlands and marry him but I was thinking, how could I, someone who could not easily be outside of Halifax for too long, give up everything and take off to a foreign country. Well, I did it, and although I am sorry to say, my wonderful husband passed away in April, 2011, we had a lot of good years together. I have a daughter who is 32 and two grandsons, the loves of my life and good friends as well. So much more to tell but we'd better leave it at this for now. 🙂
