Ann-Mason
Furmage
Ann-Mason contracted
poliomyelitis in 1950, which caused paralysis of
her left hand, arm and shoulder. Ann-Mason now uses
an electric wheelchair, due to the effects of
Post-Polio Syndrome. In 1959, she had a radical
mastoidectomy of her right ear and has been
hearing-impaired since then.
In 1968, Ann-Mason migrated
to Western Australia, where she attended West
Australian Institute of Technology (now John Curtin
University) attaining her Bachelor of Business in
Accounting in 1980. She became a CPA in 1983, and
has been an accountant or financial controller for
a number of organizations, including an accounting
firm, a firm that handled foreclosed real estate
for banks (in the USA), a national labour union, a
group of retirement homes and a not-for-profit
group representing people who have a liver
disease.
Ann-Mason's major hobby is
the design and stitching of cross stitch and
tapestries. In addition, she is very fond of a
broad range of music, from Rhythm and Blues to
Medieval and Renaissance music.
