Rick's Story
Wow, I thought that I had already done this but it looks as if I missed it.
I grew up in West Hill but attended 3 of the 4 high school years at Cedarbrae as I had taken the tech course. Grade 10 was spent at West Hill C.I. as they had opened a tech wing there then.
Graduated from Cedarbrae in '66 and started my plumbing apprenticeship on the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower on King St. in Dwntown Toronto as it was being built.
Met my wife, Olive Hurst, an R.H King type in grade 10 and have been together since, got married in '68. Had 2 boys, Stephen & Ian in '72 and '75.

ty of Toronto for 30 years and retired in '02,,,, best thing I ever did and retired in Bobcaygeon,,, dammed nice town!!!
We fill our time by going to the gym each morning, Olive is quite involved in the local church and as you may have seen, we have our summer hobby which is our boat on Simcoe which you have perhaps seen in our photo album.
I can only say that coming from 2 poor families in Scarborough in the 50s and 60s, we live quite well,,, far better than we ever dreamed of.
"Our motto now is, "LIFE IS GOOD'. I only wish that everyone that I grew up with could say that. My wife is my hero and guiding light.
