Tom's Story
In High School I was a member of the High Schools Band and Symphony. I played the clarinet for years and in the last couple of years played the Baritone Saxiphone. I wasn't much into basket ball, etc. however, I did try out for Track and Field and place well in the High Jump. I remember forever attending summer school to complete some English, History, or Typing, but I did well in the Sciences.
Currently I'm living in British Columbia, living aboard a 67 foot gaff schooner, Peregrine. I have been seperated now since 2008. I have 4 wonderful kids. A daughter in Montreal doing research at McGill, son in Surrey, and middle daughter in Vernon, and the youngest attending UVic.
I've been around a bit since leaving school. I spent 2 years at U of M, worked in Saskatoon, Regina, Victoria, Vancouver and Surrey. I spent 2 years sailing on Peregrine in the South Pacific from Victoria to New Zealand and back. I'm retired now form Investors Group....Expand for more
I have been active in Scouts Canada as a leader for the past 18 years and am the past Group Commissioner of a Surrey Group and former training officer for a Surrey Area council and am enjoying my part in contributing to the outdoor experiences of teen youths.
In 2013 I travelled in Europe with 43 Scouts on an exchange between my group in Surrey and a group in Essen, Germany. I visited the World Scout centre in Switzerland, and saw some of both the Neatherlands and Italy; as well as the Bavarian Alps with the German Scouts.
I'm currently looking forward to enjoying sailing in the Gulf Islands off Vancouver Island and who knows may head back to the South Pacific. Currently living aboard my 67 foot schooner on Vancouver Island. I'm still active with the a Scout Group here, mostly dealing with the 14 to 26 year old groups. I've given up my Commissioner and Training officer duties in Surrey now that I've moved to the boat and left the main land.
