DR. LESLY WADE-WOOLLEY became a Canadian citizen in 1995. She likes bluegrass, big jewellery, and giant cups of coffee (with double milk and half a sugar). She hates to fly and has a zillion frequent traveler points with VIA Rail. She wears all the gear all the time (ATGATT) when riding her Vespa – safety first! She lives with two golden retrievers, as well as other assorted family members.
 

LINDSAY HEGGIE is a second year Ph.D. student with an interest in prosody, reading, and cognitive development.
