His sohool- ing included Union School, En- niskillen, Bowmanville High School and much later, the Un- iversity of Toronto. He had an amazing career, filled with a wide variety a£ achievements.

Lawn bowling and curling were his main hobbies in young- er years, until ho becamne eo- thralled with the wondors o! photography and its ability to record the history ho loved so dearly.
