The Dangs in Hawaii in 2006
We met at UBC in 1985 when we were both in Biology. It all got started in the Biology lab where we had to look into microscopes and draw these funny looking ameobas, parameciums and what have you. My heart was at The Pit.
The story goes that my drawings were lacking in detail and need some work before they were handed in. So, I would be off to The Pit after doing what was, in my mind, good enough. Peggy would stay and draw Mona Lisas of the protozoa.
Well, the weekend comes and the drawings need to be handed in the coming week. I conveniently call Peggy in Totem Park to say that I need to make a few more final touches to my protozoa before handing them in but would like to reference her Mona Lisas. I would make my weekly trek from Place Vanier to Totem Park on the weekend to spiff up my drawings for the balance of the course. We went on to finish our degrees in Biology together.
Peggy continued on to get her Pharmacy degree and I got my Chemical Engineering degree all at UBC. We married in 1992 and are still happily married with a 13-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son.
