This is 60!! – 48 years of friendship worth celebrating – aka 2 Legends and Susie – October 3-5, 2025 – OTTAWA

Posted on October 5, 2025 by Anita Szigeti

It is a lifetime achievement for us all. And Susie surely is a legend in her own right, so this is a private joke. We have many of these.

I am extremely lucky to have had the warmth, the love and support of these unbelievably intelligent and hilarious women my entire Canadian life – so since I was 11.

They may be 60 but they know I’m not. Because I’m the BABY! But not this baby – this is the true LEGEND BABY!

Still, getting together for a weekend to celebrate our special friendship has been an experience we will always remember, until we don’t but for so long as our memories do not fail us, this is one for the books.
