(EMILY) JOAN (Kalbfleisch) TUCKEY

I am a left handed Canadian.

I was born in Woodstock, ON; have lived in Princeton, Bothwell, Thamesville, Watford, Strathroy & Chesley, ON. Then I left home to seek fame and fortune. I met Kenn Tuckey in Guelph, ON while he was attending the Ontario Agricultural College, (now a part of the University of Guelph ) pursuing a B.S.A. and I was working towards a B.H.Sc. After we married and Kenn graduated we moved to western Canada and settled in the Camp Creek area near Barrhead (NW of Edmonton, Alberta) where we raised several children, dogs, cats and bees.

In my spare time

I taught piano and theory lessons
was organist for St. Mary Abbot's Anglican Church, Barrhead, AB
managed the Barrhead Farmers Market for a couple years
was bookkeeper for Tuckey Apiaries
was part of the committee that started the Barrhead Rotary Music Festival

served as president for 2 years
was executive director for 4 years

was office manager and bookkeeper for a real estate company for 5 years before moving to Edmonton.

NOTES & NUMBERS (my small business for small businesses) came into being when we moved to Edmonton in 1990.

Presently I am concentrating on writing web pages for fun and profit.

I like to get mail!
