I am from Eskdale Gardens Ardoyne, then Wolfhill Dr Ligoniel. I was a nurse at Belfast City Hospital and left Belfast in 1977 and moved to Calgary,Alberta Canada. I now live on Vancouver Island but I have spent this winter in Mesa Arizona. We will be heading back to Canada on April 1. I have 2 sons who were born in Belfast and one daughter born in Canada (but made in Ireland!) I also have a 2 yr old grandson and another one due in July. I am really enjoying the BF and reading about people's memories.
