I am among the first wave of 76 million baby boomers in North America to reach our 70s. Over the next decade, this \u201cclass\u201d of 70-somethings will swell by 50 percent, making us the fastest-growing segment of the population. Women my age want information and products that will turbo-charge the quality of our lives, keeping us fabulous, fit, flexible, and fun-loving \u2013 both mentally and physically \u2013 forever. This group will make growing older the \u2018in\u2019 thing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

So, this website is for all the fun stuff I\u2019ve been doing for my whole life, but I did have a real career too. I was in the communication department at the Urban Transit Authority and then BC Transit for 17 years, starting in 1979. I was the manager of the communications department for the last few years I was there, working with a terrific team. I was lucky to be at Transit during a most exciting time \u2013 when SkyTrain was just an idea and the map for the route was drawn on a napkin, through the construction phase and then when SkyTrain opened to the public for Expo 86.\u00a0 I was with Transit until the provincial government changed in the mid 90s.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I did some contract work with The Trial Lawyers Association on the no-fault campaigns and then I was the director of communications at the Architectural Institute of BC until I retired in 2000. I can remember saying, when I was working at transit, that even if I won the lottery I would continue working at my job because it was interesting and different and I had made some very good friends there. And working with the architects was a great experience too because they are bright, full of dreams and ideas and no problem seems insurmountable to them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
