Dad worked at his roll- top desk, participated in the Markham Fair Board, Liberal gatherings, church management, and was a superintendent of Sunday School. He was also involved in handling farm machine parts for Massey Harris. Despite the busy life with farming and frequent visitors, Dad cherished his family. He was from a family of five boys, although four passed away young. Uncle Alf and Uncle Tom were also influential, with Tom, a high school principal, challenging Bob and me with math quizzes during his visits.
