Her grandmother never seemed to tire of telling her and the "younger set", of their family members' connections to different places or to historical events. Her history-happens-at-home approach showed them that history is found not only in history books, but in our own homes and in our hearts. While not always willing to hear yet another story, she came to understand that we are living history, each day of our lives.
Following in the footsteps of both her grandmothers (Florence and also, Rita), Ms. Campbell Childerhose became a teacher. Having obtained B.A.'s from Brock University (1978 in Psychology) and Laurentian University (1980 in History) she graduated with a B.Ed. from Queen's University in 1981. In 1992 Ms. C.C. was the first recipient of the Andrew Love Memorial Award, a national award given to an Intervener by the Canadian Deafblind Rubella Association. In 1997, she studied through University of Western Ontario to become a Teacher of the Deafblind.
While working through kindergarten to high school with her student Jason who is deafblind, there were many opportunities to study Canada. Unfortunately, it was impossible to find a single book on Canada's Centennial Year! Not until the author and her husband Ted, were on their way to his military posting in Colorado, did she decide the time had come, to write about one of the happiest times of her childhood.ver menos
