Richard's Story

Above you will see a picture of my two girls and I. Robin on the left is 21 years old and Kelly on the right is 22. Two great kids that I was very lucky to have but not sure I deserved. I guess you have to get lucky once in a while. I was married for 22 years and separated back in 2007. Shortly after leaving high school I attended grade 13 in Vankleekhill then headed out to see the world. I ended up travelling far and wide. I started off going to Europe, then the Caribbean, South America, Central America, South Africa and ended up in my favourite place of all, the Canadian Arctic. I ended up spending a total of about 2.5 years here and recommend it to any of you who would have the chance to visit. After approximately 7.5 year of travelling I packed it in and went back to school where I ending up collecting diplomas in Photography and Turf Management. I worked briefly in these fields and ended up meeting my "X" on the golf course. You might of hear of her if you are a golfer.

er getting married I started up my own business in ergonomics. The business was relatively successful up until October 2008. I had planned to sell the company and retire however, life as it is, will sometimes throw you a curve ball and I am now back working 50 - 60 hours a week. Good thing I like what I do. In hind site I guess it was for the best because I would of only gotten myself in trouble. My plans are to let my partner take over the day to day business in a couple of years while I back off and spend some more time travelling. One last thing. I am now with a new lady that I have known for about 35 years and as of this letter things are going very well. My interest these day are working on an orphanages in Tanzania, Africa. The orphanage was started only 5 years ago by a friend of a friend. It is called The Lukobe Project and is registered as a non profit organization. We take care of 30 kids and are very much involved with the village. If your interested in helping you can contact me anytime for more information.
