When that fizzled he wanted to continue a career in aviation, so we moved to Winnipeg. After graduating Brian had an opportunity to work with a foreign aircraft company in Saskatoon. My husband and I grew up in Saskatoon and both graduated from the U of S – Brian from Mechanical Engineering and me from the now defunct College of Home Economics (even if it doesn’t exist anymore hopefully my degree still counts for something). We have three kids: Graham (14), Madeline (11), and Paul (7). I’m 44 years old and I have been married to my husband for almost 21 years (yikes!).

Next week, if the Lions make it to the Grey Cup in Montreal, many if not most of the players’ wives will go along. I wonder if Wally Buono’s wife feels the same way? Is she saying to her husband, “Wally, give it a rest. Who can figure ’em? They continually have their priorities misplaced. And sometimes she wonders if my love for football is greater than my love for her. Theresa has nothing against the Lions or football personally.
