Introduction

(A work in progress.)

These brief notes are intended primarily for my children, to let them know what their father has been up to these many years. It is not my practice to talk much about what I have done, or am doing, so they are probably largely unaware of most of what has happened to me.

The notes may be of some interest to a few others inasmuch as I have had contacts, and made small contributions, in several areas of education and sport. To titillate the non-family reader these include:

• helping with the entry of Canada into the Pan-American Games
• introducing the concept of kinesiology to Ontario.
• introducing health studies courses and programs
• forming the first all-Canada inter-collegiate athletic organization
• writing the RCAF XBX Plan for Physical Fitness for Women and,
• selecting and training Canada's first BiathlonTeam for the 1968 Olympics.
