I have sailed off into the sunset!

I settled on the Island 40 years ago, and spent 33 of them as the manager
of LITTLE CURRENT PLACE, an elderly citizens' residence, and managing Non-profit and Special Needs Housing.
I was a founding member of the Little Current Yacht Club.
I was also an active member of the Navy League Manitoulin, Royal Canadian Legion Br.177.
I was a member ANAVETS (Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada) Manitoulin Unit No.176.
I was an active member of Fish and Game Club.
Humbly celebrated 40 year's of sobriety, supported by my membership in the local United Church.
