Hi Linda:
I started out as the Pembroke Winter Carnival Queen representing Pembroke Ontario. I lived with my family on the army base CFB Petawawa. In March 73, I participated and won Miss Eastern Ont title. I moved on to Miss Dominion of Canada Pageant in July and was 3rd runner up.
I passed on my crown in March of 1974 and was married in May of ’74 to Brydon Baker. Although we divorced in ’87, we have 2 fabulous kids, Brooke and Brydon, and 4 grandchildren. After travelling & transferring all over the province I did meet another amazing man Steve Cleaver, who I was with until 2007 when a sudden heart attack took him at 49.
My two kids went to college and settled in Windsor, my home town, so after Steve’s death I too moved home to Windsor. My career spanned lots-banking/aesthetics/real estate/paint company/decorator/caterer/reflexology/construction & renovations and some I am sure I have forgotten…until I finally figured out what I wanted to do-RETIRE…
So here I am and that’s my story. I have sent a few pics with titles.
