Hi

I was at Khandallah School in Standard 3 and 4 and then rejoined the Cashmere School Class and returned there for the 2nd part of Form 1 and all of Form 2. Subsequently I went to Onslow College.

After school I went nursing and finished in 1977. The same year I married James and we went to Australia and then Malaysia (Sarawak) to live. My daughters; Anna and Rachel, were born in 1981 and 1983 respectively. It was a very interesting time and I met many interesting people and overall had a fascinating experience which still has a huge impact on my life. However I chose to leave what became an unsuccessful marriage.

I returned to NZ, and settled in Auckland in 1988 with my children (only) and started a new life which was largely about bringing up the kids to best of my ability and working around their needs - as you do. I had a second relationship with a man Paolo, who was a great influence on Anna, Rachel and myself.

In 2001 I married Grant who has been on the scene since 1996. Anna left home on her 20^th birthday to study in London where she still lives and Rachel is also there to do her OE. So now its me, Grant and the dog - a whole new life.

My life has been largely about people (certainly not career) and in the last few years has also involved some wonderful travel which I am enjoying. This year South America. I worked for a medical supplies company as a sales rep which I thoroughly enjoyed, although the vast majority of my work in the last 10 years has been in health education.

I have managed to see a few people over the years and certainly enjoyed seeing people at the last Khandallah reunion. I keep in close contact with Marion de Groot who, along with her family gave me enormous support for years after losing my mum in 1967. Unfortunately I was not able to join you all this time but hoping there may be another opportunity. Thanks to Linda Thomas, I met up with some people last weekend in Auckland including Ben O'Neill who is my second cousin. We were able to track down some relations and have a really special time which would never have happened without this reunion being organised. So thanks people
