Terry and I met in January 1977, at a church in downtown Montreal, where he worked. A lot of university students attended this church. His job there was a youth worker.
Later that same year, we got married. Not long afterwards, he decided to go back to school to study counselling, to be better equipped for the job of talking to people about problems they wanted to discuss with him. It was a big decision - to quit work and go back to school for two years.
Someone took this picture of him during his first year of graduate studies... He doesn't look very happy. I think he's wondering if he had made a mistake. (He only told me that later!)
Fast forward 40-plus years. The same person - but not.... He looks a lot happier!
AFTER THE STUDIES WERE DONE, he worked in counselling for 30 years. After that rocky beginning, he never regretted going back to school.
