Traci Gowan, (Class of ’93) and Lisa Orlando, Class of ’94 and ’96, were introduced by a mutual friend at the campus pub - The Barn - in 1991 which coincidentally is also their favourite spot on campus!
They were married in 1996 and have two beautiful children, one in her second year of Engineering at Dal AC.
Best love advice? “Have fun and enjoy each other's company, even during times that are stressful and hard, it will make your relationship stronger.”
Lisa and Traci live in Onslow Mountain. Lisa works for the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture as an Agricultural Laboratory Technician while Traci is a Food processing Specialist with CFIA.
