******************* I met a wonderful guy and left my family, friends and career in Sault Ste. Marie.

Moved to Ajax, Ontario for eight months and now I am residing in New Liskeard.

We have now started on our own family, giving birth to a baby girl July 18th - Kavita Rae De Silva.

She weighed 5 lbs 12 ozs and 20 inches long.

I have hung up my scissors for now.

My new career is being a stay at home mom.

It was a tough decision to make, leaving the Soo.

But Tony is a great guy and worth giving up my career for.

So no regrets, except for missing my wonderful clientele, family and friends.

Sincerely, Bobbi Reid
