Shawn's Story
School
There isn't a lot to say.
I married my high school sweetheart but unfortunately it didn't work out.
I went to Thunder Bay for University. I've earned a couple of degrees (Anthropology & Sociology) and I completed three and one half years of an Honours Bachelor of Physical Education degree, but I was forced to drop out because of a couple of severe injuries to my knee and shoulder, and I'm working on a third now (business). I managed to play for the University hockey team for a little while as well.
I got married a second time to my former English Professor and we have one daughter. I got very involved in my Union (SEIU) and I was deeply involved in bringing many thousands of members out of SEIU and joining my new union, the CAW.
About six years ago I was on a picket line and I was almost killed when...Expand for more
a loval business man tried to run the line. I spent nine weeks in hospital and it took another two years to recover from my injuries.
I've been working at the University here in Thunder Bay since 1985 and I'll probably be stuck here until I retire.
College
Well, I started out in Honours Phys. Ed. but I had to stop in the middle of fourth year because of injuries to my shoulder and legs.
I finished a BA in Anthropology and started working at the University in the Physical Plant Department. I always thought that I would get another job somewhere but week led into months that led into years and I'm still here doing the same ols stuff.
I started working as a volunteer with my local trade union and that has kept me really busy.
I continue my education at the university. I'm now working on a Business degree.
