Brent Hansen Class of 1975

1975

I farmed and raised a family with Carol Peters till 1989 when high interest rates and drought ended our farming days. Carol and I were divorced then.

After farming I worked as a contractor in Western Canada de-sludging sewage lagoons for Cities and applying the biosolids to farmland as a source or organic fertilizer.

I re-married in 1994 to another nurse, Diana Yaroslowski, from Brandon. We were married until 2002, when less than a year after Carol was killed in a car accident, Diana left me.

I have been working in the environmental contracting and consulting business for over 20 years.

I currently keep busy with composting projects for Maple Leaf Foods in Brandon, the City of Regina and a few more that I am helping develop.

I have lived at Pelican Lake near Ninette since 2004.

I had a massive heart attack in September of 2005 but have been feeling great ever since.

Jokingly tell everyone that I took Phys Ed and Farming in School.

I also tell the engineers I have worked with in the environmental field that where I come from the best engineers usually drive trains.

I am so glad I took typing in 1972-3 from Mrs. Stevenson. I didn't use it again until 1995 when I started using computers, but it really is just "like learning to ride a bike" once you can you always can.

The subject is just starting to come out but I have always lacked "Emotional Intelligence" and because of that I owe alot of people from my school days and in life a very big apology. I wish it could be taught in school...
