A marathon runner, crossâ€"country ski instructor, and classic car buff, McKerron was given a "golden handshake" by Ontario Hydro â€" his I did a number of stories on people who had made radical lifeâ€"style changes. Like scientist Richard Kreamer who is now a fullâ€"time artist and glass blower. And accountant Bill Hamel who retired from "Ma Bell" to a life of travel, piano tuning, and freelance organ playing. ‘‘Times, they are a changin‘," the old song said. For inspiration, I have scattered the story clippings on the floor around me. This never fails. And then there is Iroquois Ridge Residents‘ Association president, Kurt Franklin, the irrepressible "Mr. Mom" to sons Eric and Ian, five and three respecâ€" tively.

Each one with an upbeat tone. I‘ve written stories about golf (as a microcosm of life), and hats (if you‘ve got the guts to wear one), about Klondike Days at Glenburnie School (my French teacher never looked like Klondike Kate!) and GALS who play softball and drink beer in Glen Abbey (my kind of women). I have travelled and chronicled in easy prose, the trails, woods, and parkland of Iroquois Ridge and Glen Abbey, and also the trillium fields of Bronte Creek Provincial Park in the early spring. The good people of north Oakville can beat down even the funkiest funk. Two cases, in point, are two Dads: one is a Ford enginger Dave Brown, declared "Oakville‘s Best Dad" this past Father‘s Day. With his wife Barbara, he heads a household of 15 children in River Oaks. Brown‘s nineâ€"yearâ€"old son Kevin wrote in a letter to the North News: ‘"‘My Dad can fix anything, cook scrambled eggs, and macaroni, and he takes us to the doctor when we don‘t feel good."
