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.

William Windsor

Another take on HRH William Windsor

William Wales, Duke of Cambridge. Hereditary jobs are guaranteed, it's
just that pops has to die before you can take over. And then there's the
matter of grandma and those pesky Corgis, the only dogs that get in and
out of England without undergoing quarantine. The only flag to fly atop
Buckingham Palace is the Royal Flag and it never flies at half mast as
the King is never dead, his successor automatically assumes the
position. On that day he can tear up his driver's license, he doesn't
require one. On the other hand he has a legion of chauffeurs to drive
him and estates so large some would require a day's drive to leave. And
he could always take that helicopter. He needs glasses to operate either
and once he gets the job they may frown on his Ducati. For now his job
is sea rescue helicopters. Grandma drove ambulance during WW#2 and was a
fair mechanic in her day. The birth of his wife Kate's first child will
occasion a 61-gun salute marking the birth of an heir to the throne. In
the meantime it's a waiting game, is she or isn't she?
