Went to kindergarten at Cogswell School on School Street. Then went to Pickman School 1st - 3rd grade also on School street. Went to Pickering school 4th - 8th grade on North street. Went to High school 1st Year. Went to Vocational High School the next three years and graduated with the class of 1959.

ational High School class of 1959. It has been and interesting and exciting job for me. After working with several company's I went out on my own in 1971 and have been happily employed doing my thing all these years and still am. It has been a great job for me and I like teaching the trade to my helpers so they might enjoy what I have learned as a tradesman. No regrets for sure.
Military
After Boot Camp I was sent to Davisville RI to Mobile Construction Battalion 8 (MCB-8). We were sent to Mcmurdo Station Antarctica. There I worked with a crew as an electrician, my life's vocation. We were summer support for all of the scientists on the "ice". We accomplished many projects while there, so much so that they sent us back for another 5-month deployment the following year. It was an experience of a lifetime for a kid to be a part of. I will never forget it. I am Emailing someone down there now and it has changed so much since I was there. Would do it all over again if I could.
