Shirley Pellow Skillings

Of course, there are too many to list but ....
- I remember Nancy Nold and I stuffing cotton balls in our ears in Mrs. Gaal's grade 9 music class -looking back, I can't believe I really did that.
- How about those awesome hot lunches in the cafeteria - and only costing a quarter - plus a nickel more if you wanted dessert.
- Also, how helpful and accommodating all of the students and staff were to me - something you would only get from a smaller school.

Of course - I hope to see many familiar faces - I just hope I can put a name to the faces.

Yes. My brother John and his wife Darlene live in Norwich. My sisters Alice and Yvonne and my brother Ernie live in Woodstock. I'm very fortunate to have all of my family close by. My Mom is 94 years young and lives at Woodingford Lodge in Woodstock.

Brother John would say not as often as I should.

Retired

In answer to the above question, I guess I got old.

When I first got out of school, I worked for six years in the computer department at Standard Tube.

Then I was a stay at home mom for eight years.

I then worked in administration at Fisher Controls until it closed in 1997. Warren Kelly was my manager.

I then worked in the office at Woodingford Lodge until May 2007.

When there are Federal or Provincial Elections, I work as receptionist in the Oxford Election Office.

I would like to go whale watching.

Also, I would like to go to Pasadena to the Rose Bowl parade and football game.

Do lots of travelling.

I like to crochet, knit, and sew (wouldn't Mrs. Miller be proud).

I enjoy reading the works of Jan Karon, Karen Kingsbury, and Beverley Lewis.

Good question - how old am I supposed to feel (or act).

Yea, there's a few peeping through.

Probably nothing - I don't think I'm a very surprising person.

Not that I'm aware of.

I would try to improve my grade eleven history final exam.

Bailey's in my coffee. Sloe gin.

I thoroughly enjoy the Toronto Blue Jays. I travel to Florida every March to watch Spring Training. I was also at game six in Toronto in 1993 when Joe Carter hit the game winning home run, the Jays winning their second World Series - what an experience and what a party!

It's easier to list what I don't like - liver, cooked spinach and asparagus. I like fish but not any of those other seafood gadgets.

I don't watch too many movies but I did enjoy On Golden Pond, Titanic, and Pretty Woman (girl movies).

The oldies from the sixties and Country.

Famous people - Gene Autry when I was in Sick Kids Hospital in London (1950).

Interesting people - lots and lots.

Went kayaking at Lac La Hache, B.C. in a kayak that was held together in places with duct tape. I don't know if that was cool or crazy.

Always live and enjoy life and each day to the fullest. Be yourself.

Yes - once and thanks but no thanks.

Sure and I have had a lot of strangers help me as well.

Nope.

Mentally or physically?

I've touched but not swam - the Atlantic in Atlantic City, New Jersey and the Pacific in B.C.

Yes.

No.

I learned to drive. After I'd been married for nine years, my husband made take lessons and learn to drive.

Sure.

Not that I remember.

No - I'm not much at dancing.

Every year.

Yes, but I prefer it to be already daylight when I wake up.

Of course, I'm a Gramma.

No way.

Yes.
