Julius's Story
In the first 3 years I attended 3 different High Schools. I started the 1st year at York Memorial. As my Family moved from Mount Dennis to Weston in that year, I had to change to Downsview Secondary for my 2nd year. My 3rd year required yet another change due to school zone revamping as the newly built Emery Collegiate came on line.
After leaving Emery at age 18, I join the Canadian Army Provost Corps for a 3 year tour. However, that planned 3 year tour turned into a 30 plus year career, with retirement in 1993 as a Chief Warrant Officer, having served in Canada, Europe and the Middle East.

After 10 plus years with them, I joined an Aviation Group to work on a project for the UN in Sudan. I remained with that company until end of 2015. After 53 plus years of continuous employment, frequently away from home, I realized it was time to spend my remaining years at the side of my soul mate and love of my life.
Life being unpredictable, retirement turned out to be a difficult and painful period for us.
Not liking the description Widower, I refer to myself as a Husband who has a beautiful Wife with wings, looking after me from above.
