It seems like a lifetime ago I was walking the halls of McArthur Hall with two classmates who became lifetime friends. Connie Rosario, Robert (Bob) Hubbard and I were always together in the library or the AV room. We had many laughs and enjoyment as we learned and became graduate teachers.
Though Connie stayed the course and was a teacher and retired as an elementary school principal. Bob and I taught but finally ended up working in the public sector. Sadly Bob fought a hard battle with cancer and unfortunately passed away two years ago. His friendship and many memories are with both of us each day.
Having retired from the Ontario Public Service I went to work as MP Ted Hsu Chief of Staff and retired as the Constituency Manager for MPP Sophie Kiwala. I was elected school trustee for the Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic District School Board representing Kingston and the Frontenac Islands and presently completing my second term as a trustee. I was elected Chair of the Board in 2024 and continue working in this position presently. I am a Regional Director on the Board of Directors for the Ontario Catholic School Trustee Association. Also, the Chair of the Independent Living Centre Kingston Board of Directors.
I am married to Adrianne for over 33 years and a father of three beautiful children, Adam, Nicholas and Larissa. Larissa is a graduate of the Faculty of Education @ Queensu and is an elementary school teacher for the Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic District School Board.
