Born on a mixed subsistence farm in rural Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Moved to Ontario in 1967 to attend University at what was then Waterloo Lutheran University and moved to Oakville, Ontario in 1971. Without intending to live up to the name became a letter carrier the following January and have worked for Canada Post ever since. I retired in August of 2008.

Still Life


Discovered this still life in the course of browsing the web; actually, I kind of like it. The artist’s name was Adolph and unfortunately his teachers thought he lacked talent and discouraged him from pursuing a career in art. Thirty Million people may wish they’d been less critical—yes, he was that Adolph. Today people buy his art for reasons that have nothing to do with artistic merit.
