PRAISE FOR I'VE WORN MANY HATS:

 

"I couldn’t put your book down and read it over the course of a weekend.

 

It flowed so well and I found it a very honest, courageous and humble account of an extremely interesting life and because of that it is a great book.

 

If you failed to tell the low points, the book would have failed.  I wondered about your children, grandchildren, etc. discovering something that would change their opinion about Grandma, but then I thought, if it were me I would think she was a hero.

 

Your stories were so wonderful about growing up in the 50’s encountering life as it was back then. As a woman a bit younger, I could relate to so many of them.

 

Your account of redemption was very moving as it always is a joy to hear others’ testimony of their journey to God and their search for meaning and purpose.

 

The heart always knows when it is in the right place and when it is not.  The work you have accomplished in Honduras as one person is nothing short of miraculous.  

 

God has blessed your life for sure.  

 

You have transformed the lives of so many which must be so rewarding.  

 

You could have just shared your accomplishments but they wouldn’t have had the impact without the story of what brought you to this place of evolvement.

 

Your story will inspire others to reach out, to grow, to reflect and to evolve.  

 

It gives us hope.

 

What a story Anne.  I loved it from beginning to end."

ABOUT I'VE WORN MANY HATS:


Get ready to experience a roller coaster ride of emotions!  Laughter, sadness, empathy, outrage.


Canadian Anne Hamilton Fowler appeared to have it all. However, life is not always as idyllic as it seems and at age twenty a series of events almost destroyed her.

 

Emerging from the wreckage she reinvented herself, started over and proceeded to live on the edge with a risk-taking life style.

 

Then, in 1993 an event experienced during a trip to Central America changed everything.     

                     
“I’ve Worn Many Hats” is an inspirational read that demonstrates our human frailties, one’s ability to survive personal adversity and how we can learn to forgive both ourselves and others. It is a story of redemption.


Anne Fowler is a retired Canadian who divides the year between her Haliburton summer cottage and a home in Central America. This memoir is her first book and all proceeds will be used to support Anne’s ongoing humanitarian projects in Honduras.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Anne Fowler, only child of Audrey and Stewart Hamilton, was raised in Toronto where she attended Leaside High School and Toronto Western Hospital School of Nursing. 

In 1962 American Airlines beckoned her to Dallas, Texas and life in the sky as a flight attendant. 

Twice divorced, Anne first married a young minister from Louisiana and then long-time best friend Dr. Bob Fowler of Toronto. 

They raised a daughter and son who later produced one grandchild each… a grandson and granddaughter. 

In 2001, Anne retired, closed her company Hamilton Enterprises and left behind a thirty-year career in Human Resources. 

She relocated to El Progreso, Honduras to volunteer at a clinic where ophthalmic and dental care are provided for patients who lack the funds to be treated elsewhere. 

During this time, Anne developed the Visiting Doctor program for international ophthalmologists, started the Healthy Living Education project in local elementary schools, and helped with a variety of clinic and community activities. 

In 2005, after purchasing property in the small north coast village of El Porvenir, she built Hamilton Benest House, a home that provides accommodation for visiting dentists, doctors, teachers and other volunteers. 

Her major program in 2021 is Phase Two of the Healthy Living Program. This annual dental program, conducted by two Canadian dental teams, provides dental care for over 1,000 elementary school students. 

Anne's programs continue to thrive and she is still developing community initiatives designed to improve the lives of Hondurans. 

Anne divides her year between El Porvenir and her Haliburton cottage north of Toronto.
