Description
I grew up in the 1950's in Brockville, Ontario, where I attended local schools. I was an average student, mainly due to boredom, not talent: I can't recall ever being challenged to think or create. 'Here are the answers, write them down, then feed them back' ~ sadly, that was public education at the time.
I entered Queen's University at 17 and perhaps because I'd never been forced to really think or work independently, I failed year 2 and left for the work force. That same year I was 'de-enlisted' from the university naval officers training program for having a 'lower deck mentality.'
After an eye- and mind-opening trip to Egypt and Greece with my grandmother, I began my working life as a reporter with the Woodstock, Ontario daily, The Sentinel Review (At university I'd reported on and off for the Queen's Journal). I was a good writer, but far too emotional to make a good reporter. I remember the mayor having to feed me tissues when I was supposed to be interviewing him on his reaction to the JFK assassination. Covering a car accident that killed two teenagers finally did me in.
