Lemme see... My sister graduated from College -I think- before she got married (July 1969) and she and her husband (now ex) went to stay with a friend's parents up in Winnipeg. Turns out that the father was the #2 guy in the province (I want to say Lt. Gov., but I _know_ that's wrong). She taught a year or two in our old home town (Moorhead, MN), and then moved in Canada. Kent State may have been the spark, but I think she and Ron (the ex) were thinking of immigrating for a while. It seems to me that they both became teachers because that was a "needed" occupation.
What makes me laugh is that it's going to be easier for me to imigrate, since I have a family member who's a citizen. For Phyliss I believe the whole process took 5 years since she wasn't coming from a Commonwealth country.
