John (Jeff)'s Story
Life
Finally met a great looking gal and married her. My wife Annette Juskow and me are semi-retired and took advantage of this free time to travel throughout the US Southwest, St Martin, Singapore, Phuket and Bangkok Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, London and Paris. We currently live in Kitchener and enjoy a great family life with our daughters sons-in-law and our three grandchildren Chelsey Kate and Ellie.
School
The most enjoyable thing about Kelvin was graduation because I was able to take some great looking girls (the one in the picture had a boyfriend in the pen for assault so the relationship was short lived. After ÃÂmopingÃÂ through high school I spent a couple of months traveling through the US and Mexico on a Greyhound circle tour.
College
I got robbed in Tijuana and left with my Greyhound ticket, five bucks and a package of cheese. Used the five bucks to take a cable car ride in San Francisco and buy an apple and left broke. This convinced me to go back to school and I attended the first course in Business Administration offered at the Manitoba Institute of Technology (now Red River Community College) and did much better than I did in high school.

I landed the plum of jobs as the first non university graduate hired by Imperial Oil (Esso) A transfer to Peace River caused me to quit and after some unsatisfactory jobs got a job in the petroleum division of United Co-operatives of Ontario and was promoted through various positions up to Petroleum Division Manager. I had introduced ethanol gasoline into Ontario so successfully that Sunoco who had bought control used the marketing for all of their outlets. I took and early retirement and have been working part time 20 hours a week on average for Frito Lay merchandising, delivering in a 5 ton truck and most recently operating a reach truck in their Distribution
My wife Annette passed away on June 11, 2011 and now rests at Williamsburg cemetery in Kitchener Ontario.

I visited China, Vietnam, Cambodian, and Thailand last fall and leave for Costa Rica, Cuba and the Caribbean February 5 returning in May then off to the Mediterranean Greece, Italy, France and Spain.
