About me

Retired Public servant who has hobies in Drawing,Painting,Poetry and photography. I love to travel and have visited many parts of the world. I originally emigrated to Canada in 1953, from England with my wife and family. We are now retired and have two Married Sons and four grandchidren.

 

I spent eleven years of my life in military training from 1942 to 1953. Most of my career was spent as a Personnel Manager in the private and Government sphere.

 

I am hard of hearing and once served as the National President of the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association (CHHA) from 1992 to 1995.

In 2009 I have donated all of my paintings to CHHA, for their charitable foundation.

 

Computers have been part of my life for the past 20 years, and I'm still learning (slower now that I am over 82). I'm hanging in there.
