I got a job as a shipper for a distributor of fine British Audio products and with my inquisitive nature I soon became the chief technician for Rola Celestion (Marshall), Connoisseur and Decca. I relocated with the company when the P.Q came to power, to Toronto for a few years. After I returned to Montreal, I started working downtown at Wm.Layton Audio. It was after attending a dealer's conferance in Toronto that I decided to move to the "wet" (west) coast. I managed a family operated store with and became co-owner.
After several years I decided to move back to the city and here I am in Vancouver.

I'll never forget the day when we got the usual "General announcement" through the School's intercom system, I recall our intercom was crackly, and broke up, so all we heard from Mr. Fagan was "Your attention please, this is a general announcement.., due to lack of interest..,today..,has been canceled." Needless to say we were all cracking up in Mrs. Schok's Homeroom.

I remember Mrs. Mennon's History class, I felt she was one of the most influential teachers for me. While studying the War of 1812, she asked us to put our books down, and decided to get us involved in conversation about what each General was thinking. She got us to "think outside the box" not just read blindly into a book. Best teacher EVER in my book.
