My Story by Claire Miller
Claire grew up in rural Saskatchewan, traveled to England for a long vacation at age 17, and eventually returned to Canada five years later having completed nursing training and having met future husband, Bob.
Later, after a couple of transatlantic trips, they married and set up home in Sunbury on Thames near London, where son Sam was born. A work relocation took them to Liverpool where Jennifer was born.
In 1978, the family set out on a new adventure, moving to Stow, MA. After being a stay at home Mom, while their children became independent, Claire did a complete career change – first working in a specialized custom woodworking and cabinet shop and then progressing to opening her own custom kitchen design and remodeling showroom in Concord, MA.
In 2004, when the opportunity to sell the business came up, Claire and Bob retired to Truckee, Ca.
Claire enjoys everything outdoors – gardens, growing things, flowers (wild and cultivated), hiking, skiing, swimming and boating, biking, and hanging out in the hammock down by the stream. She also enjoys singing and is hopeful of finding three like-minded souls at Wolf Creek Lodge to help form a new barbershop quartet.
