James's Story
Life
Graduated High School 1979, joined the Armed Forces, spent a ton of time in the Carribean. Seems most of the Canadian Navy spends winters down there.
Honourable (really!!) Voluntary Discharge 1981.
Moved to Alberta, worked in the Boilermakers Union, returned to Ontario late 82
Started College 84, Married 85, finished college, worked for the MOE for a year then started University, Divorced 89, Graduated 90, BSc, while at school spent two seasons working in the Rocky Mountains for National Geographic Society/Royal Ontario Museum collecting fossils at the Burgess Shale in Yoho Nat'l Park. Was on the Nature of Things with David Susuki some time around this period as well as appeared in a number of international magazines, Geo for one, out of Germany.(not because of me, but because of the fossils, but it was a cool experience) Check out National Geographic Oct 91, I think, two buddies were pictured there, I got edited out, but the fold out page is a fossil that I found, the largest, most complete representative of the species Anomalocaris Canadensis, the top predator of the Mid Cambrian. Spent one summer studying glaciers in the Austrian Alps, Zillertal Valley, Tyrol. Moved to BC, worked 4 years as a Forestry C...Expand for more
onsultant out of Vancouver then moved to the North, between 56 and 57' north lat, worked as a Planning Forester for Abitibi Consolidated until my return to Ontario 2004.
In 94, one year before meeting my wife, lived 62kms into the bush, by myself in a log cabin on 600 acres, no tube, no phone, no radio. The Kispiox River was the eatern border of the property. Worked during the day and played my guitar and wrote music in the night and on weekends. Married in 95, still very happily, three children, no dog or cat because I loathe dogs and cats. After we married we moved from a small town called Hazelton to the 'city'...4800 people, of Mackezie. When my first daughter was 4 months old we moved to an isolated logging camp for a year. A 1 hour flight north by bush plane from our town. Fantastic fishing, bears, moose, elk, Caribou. Did you know a Caribou can run 55kms/hr? Currently living in Hamilton, Ontario, working for the City as the Environmental Coordinator on the Red Hill Valley Project, the largest infrastructure development project ever undertaken by the City of Hamilton and quite possibly the most controversial ever in Canada. Google Red Hill Valley and check it out.
