I am Ann O"Shaughnessy Hewitt, a friend of Diane for many years. Like Diane, I had a career as a school teacher. We met in Soest Germany when we were teaching children whose fathers were in the Nato armed forces. Diane and I became good friends, and for many years we had great holidays together. When Diane registered at The University of Oregon in Eugene to get a Master's degree, it sounded like such a good idea to me that I obtained a leave of absence from the Halton School Board in Burlington to go along with Diane on a new adventure. We did get our Master's degrees, but we also had great times skiing in the Rockies and Western mountain ranges. When we returned to Canada we often visited each other. Diane was very patient with me on the golf course and tennis courts in summer, and in winter we downhill skied and cross-country skied . We also took some summer trips to far-off places. I am living in a retirement home in Burlington now. I'm glad that Diane was a part of my life.
