Some couldn’t sleep and were full of mischief, but some were homesick,” she recounts. Collins, a UBC graduate originally from Banff, Alberta, has also been active in parent-teacher associations, community groups, sports organizations and arts societies. Most recently she organized 70 volunteers to set up the Ambleside Art Gallery in the old ferry building in West Vancouver.

Recently Curry has managed the renovation of three Sheraton Hotel properties in Vancouver. He graduated with honors from the Arts and Civil Engineering program at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland in 1952 and emigrated to Canada the next year. He went on to earn an MBA with honors from the University of Western Ontario. When he finds a little time to spare, Curry enjoys fishing and canoeing. He is married and has three children.
