The Importance of Education ~ Catherine Called Cleo Achieves Her Public Health Nursing Degree From The University of British Columbia, 1960!

In this endeavour, the entire family gave their support.  Dad, Gordon Bryant, former Mayor of Prince George, B.C., held the fort. Daughter, whose voice telling this story in the above link can be listened too with a simple "click of the mouse", traveled to Vancouver to attend boarding school. Mom, the R.N. (Royal Columbian Hospital)Specialist Obstetrical Nurse (Post Grad. St. Michael's Toronto Trained),doggedly studied and navigated her way through UBC to obtain her degree in Public Health Nursing, 1960.
We secured a flat, first at Broadway and Fir, and later at Hycroft Towers. The apartment in Vancouver was our pied a terre of tuition, with frequent trips to the North to embrace the then, dry, fragrant air of the Caribou. SB.
