Don't really know each other - Part1

[irishleaffan]

I grew up all over Canada as my father was in the air force and then I was in the navy. I fought in Ont. and then in New Brunswick.

That's really cool. So how did you end up in Ireland?

You fought in Ont?

I'm sorry, I'm trying to figure that part out.

Reading back I think he is talking about boxing. Since I am fairly new here, maybe I should take a crack at this list myself, even though it is a bit old.

Palmateer actually took my Mom by the arm and escorted her into the closing ceremonies of Maple leaf gardens when she was getting a hard time from security. 


14.Name something that may surprise people about you: After my first marriage fell apart I won custody and took on the challenge of raising my two small children on my own. Hardest thing I have ever done, and the accomplishment I am most proud of.

True, the 'Don't really know each other threads' being old, yes, but a good portion of the members have been here since Feb 2002, and others joined within the next year or two. It's still nice to have our newer members contribute to each of the threads.

I had a baby (6 1/2 mo old) and was (just) 2 months pregnant with my 2nd child when my first one ended, and I was a single parent for 10 years before my 2nd walk down the aisle. Being a single parent raising children is a hard job. Mother, Father, and family bread winner rolled into one person. My hat's off to you for your accomplishent.
