Pat's Story
After graduating in the summer of 59 i got a job as a Junior Customs Broker.
Met & married Fran in 62, had two kids in Winnipeg before writing Govt. exam,
passed and received my Licence as a
Customs Broker in 66. For those of you who may not know a Customs Broker clears commercial shipments from all over the world for Canadian Importers.
We pay the appropriate duty and tax and then bill our clients with our fee
etc. So we are a go between Canada Customs and Canadian Importers. Got a job opportunity in Calgary which we jumped at and move here in Nov. of 66
and had our third child here. So we have two grown boys (both meat cutters)
and one grown girl (paralegal). and one 18 year old grandson. I retired on June 30-06 thank God. In between i have played golf, fished, hunted, shot trap & skeet, became a Scout leader and trainer for 10 years, camped, back packed which i did a lot of with my kids but now that they are grown up i build plastic model cars, computer surf and am planning to write my own Journal for the family i guess. There will have to be things omitted of course as it will be a family journal but damn we had fun in my teen tears. I dont regret one thing. I dont watch m...Expand for more
uch TV but anyting on PBS by Ken Burns IE: Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, etc. etc. the man is a genius at putting series together that give an excellent cross section of each topic and has won more Emmys than i can remember. Youngest son Mark has all of
his stuff as i do including his series on WWII. The epic Band of Brothers by Speilberg is also a winner. Planet Earth and the Blue Planet are both
outstanding. A series on HBO by David Milch called DEADWOOD is also outstanding if not rather rough but that is how life was like during the 1870s in gold rush towns. There is nothing like the rock & roll of the Fifties and early Sixties, Blues, Jazz & Swing (40s & 50s), Classical, Motown. Rap is crap and most of the modern r & r is also crap. There are a few good groups through the seventies and on but i have more than enough good stuff to listen to as i have always been a bit of an audiophile. So let the kids blow their ear drums out with ipods that hold thousands of tunes which they will never be able to listen to. That is cool. Our parents thought we were nuts also. Soooooo if anyone out there is interested drop me a note with your profile and we will go from there.
