description
hter of James H. Craig, architect, and Grace Morris Craig, artist and author, and widow of Ernst G. Waengler, writer and foreign correspondent for the Neue Zurcher Zeitung. Sheila grew up in Toronto's Lawrence Park neighbourhood during the Depression. Life wasn't always easy, but she still managed to have many childhood adventures in and out of the city. After following in her mother's footsteps by attending Branksome Hall, an all-girls school in Toronto, Sheila enrolled at University College at the University of Toronto, where she studied Fine Arts and Archeology and started acting in productions at Hart House Theatre. This led her to spending a summer acting at the well-known Red Barn Theatre in Jackson's Point, Ontario. After university Sheila attended Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music, where she spent two years in the Opera School as a mezzo-soprano, where she was taught by French-Italian coloratura soprano Gina Cigna.

Now in her 96th year, Sheila has written her memoir covering the period from her birth in 1930 to just before her marriage in 1953. This is her first book.
