Judith and her parents before the Wedding

                   The Honeymoon was of the sort of which dreams are made. We drove to the
                northern part of the island, visited Montego Bay and rented a chalet near Ocho
                Rios, dunked ourselves in Dunns River Falls, and enjoyed some of the world’s
                finest beaches. And let me not forget to say that I was the subject of many pained
                male glances; one, perhaps two young girls on a honeymoon … but four!

                   It was a shame to return to Vancouver, but study had to go on. The next
                semester saw the same sort of courses, though suddenly Economics became much
                more difficult, our lecturer being the estranged wife of Saunders of ‘Samuelson
                Saunders’ Principles of Economics’. I got full marks, but suddenly it was much
                more difficult than the first half of the course (one poor soul in the class was
                having his fourth attempt at it; I advised him that he might be best to try another
                discipline, advice that I suspect he ignored). As before, I retained the Saturday
                parts-man job and had a few other ‘nothing’ jobs, but it paid for the groceries; for
                many reasons, Eatons was the perfect employer.
