Glen's Story
After graduation in 1969 I travelled around Canada for a year before beginning university, Simon Fraser, in Burnaby BC, a part of greater Vancouver.
After completing my degree in 1973 my future wife, Karen Hopkins, and I moved to the Balmy Beach area of Toronto. We had previously spent a few months hitchhiking from coast to coast (great adventure)
Following two years working as a freelance researcher with CBC and a professor at York University I was homesick for the mountains and the ocean so we returned to BC.
Eventually I got into the social services field working in a wilderness camp near Prince George BC and as a probation officer in Golden BC (near the Alberta border), Kamloops and finally Duncan, on Vancouver Island.
I retired in 2004 and have been doing some writing and travelling since.
I have published a couple hockey hi...Expand for more

Karen and I were married in 1976 and have two grown and married children; Shalome who is teaching in Smithers BC and Brieshea who is living in Nimes in southern Fance.
To blow off steam I play guitar and write.
I would have to identify Terry Fox as my hero ever since I saw him running in prince George
Thinking back to teachers at Newmarket High the most memorable one is "Wild Bill" Elliot; especially his line about how we would be crawling the steps at university with bleeding hands in a last minute effort to get our papers in on time.
As for dressing in style my kids would say I was a fashion plate but for the turn of the century. Two daughters, a wife and a female cat all had a hand in making sure I did not unduly embarass the family.
