It may help you to decide the career for you. written by Duane McQuaid Big decisions by little minds To build some background for this story we will have to go back into into the past some eight to nine years when Jim, Nancy, Jamie and the dog Brandy were visiting with us from Edmonton. They now reside in the Picton area along with a new addition to the family, Billy. If has to do with Brandy, a reddish reddish coloured Cocker Spaniel, which at the time I thought looked somewhat like Peter Lougheed, then premier of Alberta. In fact I often called the dog Peter. It was at a time when Lougheed- was putting the squeeze On the rest of Canada over the supply of the province's oil supply. On the first night in the house the dog was on general patrol all through the night and occasionally would nuzzle you out of a dead ^ sleep. À.

When I arrived at Sid's he asked, • "What's with the dog?"
