After being transferred from
Colorado back to Canada, we lived in Ottawa again, this time for eight years,
then two years in Vancouver before Ottawa again, this time for only three
years. Then we left our government jobs and my husband went to work for Wardair
in Toronto. We lived several miles south
of the airport near Lake Ontario, in Missisauga.
We probably would
have stayed there until my husband retired, but the airline was bought by CP
Air, and the former Wardair pilots sensed that their future prospects were less
than excellent. Many began looking
elsewhere, and twelve of them including my husband, were scooped up by a brand
new, rapidly expanding airline many of us had never heard of. In 1990 we moved abruptly to a city we also
hadn’t heard of and had only recently located on a map of the Middle East. I’ll
tell you about it next week.
