I had forgotten about this paper, but I never forgot my goals. In some ways, they ran into each other. Tracing my family tree lead to my becoming president of the United Empire Loyalists' Association. That lead to my having dinner with Prince Philip (it was not all it was cracked up to be!)

Before I'm 50
While organizing my cedar chest , I came across something that I wrote and dated July 19, 1971. I was 14 at the time. It has the rather undignified title of "Stuff I Want To Do Before I'm 50". I'm now 52, and I'm so glad to say that I have accomplished every item on the list:
Be loved by all my friends
Get a degree
Marriage and motherhood
Have my own business
Get my own place and have it decorated the way I want it
Trace my family tree
Go to Paris
Write a book
Be on TV
Be in the newspaper
Meet someone famous (I'm not sure why this was a goal for me back then)
