John's Story

Okay, after two subscriptions to this website since sometime around '02, I suppose I should write a few lines ... After grad, I did my accounting & finance at UBC. By '83 I was wishing I'd studied law but by then I'd become too immersed in projects and such. The early '90s found me working with or for names in eastern Canada and the USA. Then I found myself working for a Vancouver-based group in Europe. London and Paris were everything I expected, but I think I spent more time than I wanted to in Frankfurt (hindsight being 20/20). Did I mention that I initially wanted to study communications electronics at BCIT but was "pushed" into Bookkeeping 11 instead of any "Foyer 12" class? Then again, I'm not sure I'd have "enjoyed" BCIT nearly as much as the "events" in Dick Bowden's Electronics classes. (I just remember something about his class office telephone being connected to the industrial wing's speaker array.) Poor Mr. Bowde...Expand for more
n! A few years into a forced semi-retirement to remedy a nagging problem and I find myself with many of my friends all over the map, and few left in BC. Yuma, AZ remains my home-away-from-home, and the location of my business interests, and I'd be back there today if it weren't for at least a year's worth of preliminary work required here. So, for the forseeable future, I'm back on home turf, recognizing a number of the good old gang from Sutherland, North Van High, and Carson, many of whom I have not seen since the (Carson) Reunion in '82 at the Stanley Park Pavillion, or was I that inebriated and attending another grad party? Probably. It wouldn't surprise me, having taken a dive in the old Ambleside Pool in the wee hours after the umpteenth grad party ... still wearing whatever I did to the grad dinner at the Bayshore Inn.
