The day after I finished school I went to work with Seaboard and Western Airlines,
along with Bill Geange and Jon Newhook. December of 1960, I went to work as a ticket
agent with Maritime Central Airways in Stephenville. June 1961, I came back to Gander
and went to work with Eastern Provincial Airways as a dispatcher. For the next 5 years
I spent 6 months in Gander and 6 months in Pasadena each year with EPA.

In 1964, I married Hilda Mcleod of Pasadena and, in 1966, went to Goose Bay. In 1973,
we came back to Gander with EPA. Worked with EPA until 1984, when the whole operation
moved to Halifax. Hilda and I did not see any future in Halifax so we remained in Gander
and eventually operated four small businesses, (Hallmark card and gift store, Ultramar
Gas Bar, magazine distributor (NFLD Herald), and a small lottery centre in the Fraser Mall.
In 1993, sold the card and gift store, 1994 we got out of the Gas business, and in Dec/2000,
sold the lottery centre. I still distribute the Herald, which takes about 4 hours per week.

Son Wayne now lives in Whitby, Ont. with wife, Nancy, and Michael (7 yrs old) and Sarah

Care Centre and has a little darling, Isabella, who is 16 months old.........
