UBC Alumni Affairs
My husband and I met at UBC while we were in the faculty of Agriculture, but we did not connect until the last year of my BSA degree and his final year getting his master’s degree.
We have been married for just over 38 years. He asked me out several times, but I always seemed to have something going on. Finally, when I was vice president of the Aggie undergrad society and organizing the fall banquet, I needed a date! So guess who I asked!
On our first “real” date, he stood me up. His car broke down and he didn’t realize that he was only a couple of blocks form my home! Anyway – the rest is history. Jim proposed to me on campus at the weather station where he was hired to record data.
He’s just retired from a long career in agriculture with the federal and provincial governments, and we continue to be involved with the industry through our farming operation, which we have run for more than 30 years.
