A new challenge came into his life when he accepted a position as custodian in Uxbridge S.S. Many doors in the music world opened when he was asked to become music director for the school board. In the years to follow he produc- ed, directed and wrote many shows where his talent, energy, ideas and dedication to music were passed on to numerous students and music pupils. Eighteen fruitful, happy, joyous years were spent at the school. After retirement in 1981, he specialized in teaching Banjo and Guitar in Port Perry, Uxbridge, Greenbank and surrounding areas.
