Dad was a petroleum engineer, became President of Sproule, then worked for the Alberta Securities Commission. He was an avid hunter/trapper and raised Tennessee Walking Horses.
Mom is my hero - despite being handicapped, after my sister and I were older, she went to MRC and studied Criminology. She worked with women prisoners for the Elizabeth Fry Society. Then she studied art at U of C and ACAD, becoming an abstract artist. Her series on Tibetan monks was exhibited on behalf of the Canadian Tibet Society and she met the Dalai Lama a couple of times. Later she led an artists studio, a book club, and became a poet.
