April 2007
Val finally has a new permanent job in Pretoria, working for the SA Medical Council. After working for ADT Security for many years (and its predecessirs Sentry Security and Astron Bexforce) she was transferred to their head office in Johannesburg, a drive of 50 km each way through heavy traffic, which could take up to 4 hours a day. She resigned in July 2006 and joined a start-up company based at the nearby Innovation Hub, but found she was being asked to do things that were unethical or illegal, so resigned after 5 months and did temporary work until getting the Medical Council job at the beginning of April 2007.
Our daughter Bridget is in Athens, studying for a masters degree in theology. Our sons Simon and Jethro are working in Pretoria.
