187 - Renee "Mei Fei" Elrick (The Village of Riverside Glen)

For this episode I interview Renee "Mei Fei" Elrick. Mei Fei is a recent new resident at The Village of Riverside Glen, and a long-time Guelphite, both her and husband having worked at the UoG (her husband as a Soil Physicist, and her as a Social Scientist). She shares the story of her many homes in many countries over her life - born in Shanghai China, before moving to California and Northwood North Dakota while her father was working with the Airforce in WWII. From there, she went to the University of Wisconsin for school, where she met her husband, who's career would then take them all around the world for research, including stretches of living in Australia, France, and New Zealand. Her first child was born in Australia, two in Guelph, then one in France and she shares some of the differences at that time in these places, when it came to child birth. She's a fascinating guest with many experiences and we're so glad she connected to share them with us!
