1) Have you ever won a trophy...what was it for?

I won a medal as the Outstanding Altar Boy.  I also won several trophies/medallions for sports in My youth, however, the most meaningful one came later in life when I was in My 40s and playing hockey in a fraternity league.  I suppose it means the most because My sons were able to see Me play and the memories and pride last to this day for them.  I also won several national/international awards for My work in higher education �?which leads into the next question and answer �?.

2) If you could go back to school/college/uni what subjects would you choose to study?

Having gone to college and worked at and with a variety of institutions of higher education I can’t think of going back …�?unless it meant I did not have to get a grade, pass tests, pleasing professors, or jumping through all of the academic and institutional hoops. With that said �? I’d want to study History �?take some art classes �?especially computer generated graphic arts �? and Film Studies.

3) What age were you when you began to drive? Did you have an instructor/parent or friend teach you?

I was 15, had a learner’s permit, and took Driver’s Education through school which included behind the wheel instruction from certified teachers.  Both My father and mother also provided instruction. 

The great part of taking the Driver’s Education was that the classes were held very early before regular classes started and I got to ride with My Dad on His way to work.  We would stop for coffee at this little shop and have some alone time.  One time, My Dad gave Me one of those driving lessons you don’t get in Driver’s Ed.  On our way to school another driver cut Him off and nearly caused an accident.

At the next red light My dad gave the other driver half a peace sign which prompted the driver to exit his vehicle to have a discussion with My Dad.  My Dad got out of the car, and being a man of few words, ended the conversation quickly, got back in the car and We drove off.  The other driver eventually made his way back to his car, I assume.  My Dad was a classic!


4) If your behaviour came with a guarantee, what could you honestly guarantee about yourself?

“Never a dull moment�?�?or at least none that last too long �?or perhaps it would be the epitaph in My High School yearbook in which I was voted by My peers to be �? “Always Into Something�?/STRONG>
