Fond memories of Miami High. Always stayed on the Gold Coast. My life entered a new stage in 2022 when I had to permanently retire from my chosen career as a doctor due to ongoing medical problems involving my sight. I live with my husband Paul who I have been with for 24 years. No children. In earlier years I toyed with a political career but I chalk that up as a failure but still an interesting failure.
