Wendy Smith-Gordon

Wendy taught for two years in tropical Queensland before living in France for two years. Subsequently, marriage and three children occupied normal life. The family then spent almost two years in Saudi Arabia, until their dramatic evacuation prior to the Gulf War. Back in Australia, the family fostered a severely disabled boy for ten years, later becoming his legal guardians. When the children became teenagers, she returned to teaching, her first passion.

Wendy, now retired, follows other interests, including writing and loving her seven amazing and talented grandchildren, along with her special dog, Sunny, now an official Therapy Dog providing love and support to others.
