Ruth Buchin

Address: Thornhill

Marital:
Still married to Jeff (I think I got it right this time!). He switched firms a few years ago, and is a controller with a property management company.

My career
: Still with the City, of course, now I have been a supervisor for 15 years. Last year I became a trainer, which means training of new hires as well as doing training at my local office, which is now at Yonge and Eglinton - this was a welcome change from years doing front line supervison. And retirement is now a light at the end of the tunnel... hopefully by the next reunion in 5 years!

Kids
: They're 5 years older. Nicole is 30 (yikes), still works for the city too, but she has taken an 8 month leave to travel the world with her boyfriend - has been away since September and having an incredible experience. Daniel works part time for Raptors TV, is seeking a full time career in marketing. Stepdaughter Ashley works for Alliance Canada, and Jordan at York considering a teaching career.

Pets
: The psychotic cat is dead and has been replaced with a charming cat named Pookie who worships me.

Interests
: same as last time - trying to do more travel now .... we recently went to Italy. My last time there was 34 years ago with Rhonda and Joyce, so that brought back some memories for sure.

I can still be reached at ruthrc AT rogers.com - looking forward to seeing everyone in June.
