I married Cynthia Cooper in June 1961, celebrated our 45th Anniversary.  We raised three great kids and enjoy the dividends of our 2 wonderful Grandsons (ages 16 + 13) by our eldest daughter, Heather and 2 beautiful Granddaughters (ages 13 + 8) belonging to our second daughter, Natalie.

Our son Derek is engaged to be married Jun 2007.

They gave us much reason to be proud of them all.

I spent my working career in the needle trade.  In January 2002 I decided to get out of the rat race and officially retired to an unusually diversified 2nd and 3rd career.

    1. Tunnel - a product that I invented and patented requires very little of my time.

    2. My music (and first love).  I sing and play the keyboard.  My Genre is “music of the good old days” - (Yiddish + English).  My audiences are generally well upwards of our age.

We sold our Hampstead home 8 years ago and moved into our Cote-St-Luc Condo.  We divide our time between this and our country home in St-Donat.

My life is quiet, tranquil and by many standards uneventful.  Perhaps I have not achieved the pinnacles of many of my classmates, but I have very few regrets.
