First became interested in Ham Radio while growing up in Dartmouth, N.S. with mentors Randy, VE1AHZ, and Del, VE1TM. I enjoyed building and rejuvinating radios. After college, marriage, and moving to London I met Mitch, VE3OT, at work, and he encouraged me to get my licence in 1975.

I was very active on the bands and in the local club, LARC, for many years. I also helped with the founding of the CRRL with Mitch and Harry, VE3GRO, and served on the 1979 Radio Society of Ontario Convention organizing comittee. I started teaching electronics at Fanshawe College in 1993 and stopped playing with radio in the little spare time I had.

I followed my interest in Astronomy and became involved with the London Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, and served as Centre President from 2000 to 2011.
