After 20 plus years in dermatology I decided it was time for a change, left medicine and retrained as a primary school teacher!! Who can beat that for a mid life crisis?? I love my new job, the holidays are great and at 3 o'clock each day the bell rings and they all go home! How many times would I have loved to do that to a crowded waiting room at 3 o'clock. I have been married to James(a pathologist in Glasgow) for 25 years and have two children age 19 and 15. My father who some of you will remember taught us, was 92 this year and as he qualified in 1937, is celebrating his 70th year since qualifying. Might help to think of that for anyone who is feeling old being qualified for 30years!! As teaching is not as lucrative as medicine I am not staying at Gleneagles but hope to join you for the dinner on Sat night. I am going to attempt to add a photo taken in NZ at Christmas but my technical computing skills are limited. If it works I definately want one of Carol's certificates!!

Hi Sheila,
That's some mid life crisis. Well done you though. Please tell Dad I was asking for him, I was pleased to hear he's still ok. I hope to see you at Gleneagles.

Hi,Sheila:
Glad you had the courage/foresight to change careers when you wanted to ! Looks like there will be a lot of other interesting tales and stories at the Re-Union.
