A little about me
I am in my 66th year. Born in Ireland and came to Canada in 1964. Lived in Ottawa at first and then in the Toronto area. Now in Brampton. My 3 children are in North Dakota and I have and older sister in Florida and a younger broth in Ottawa. Most of my life I operated a business which specialized in the transportation on the elderly and those who are disabled. We carried over 250,000 trips in total and learned so much.
