Profile

I first became involved with ODP back in October 1999 by volunteering to edit the Ontario/St_Catharines/Real_Estate category. I was then and still am an associate broker, now working for Royal LePage in Niagara-on-the-Lake, my hometown.

Somewhat to my surprise, my interest in selling houses has become accompanied by what's often called the ODP addiction. Step by step I've taken on more than I would have ever imagined possible. For instance, Real_Estate led to St_Catharines, which led to Regions/Niagara, which led to Ontario/Regions, and then to two large chunks of ODP, the Bus/Ind/Mfg/Machinery_and_Tools categories and the Bus/Ind/Mfg/Casting_Molding_Machining ones. Ergo, a slew of unrevs are now demanding my attention almost every day. Hey, wasn't it my mother who told me to never volunteer for anything?

Somewhat to my embarrassment, I've been encouraged by various editing colleagues to take on each additional "burden" -- but I suppose I've always had difficulty in saying no when people ask me so nicely.

However, let me make no apology. I enjoy the challenge of trying to deserve the trust placed in me by those who are much more knowledgable and experienced than I am.

In any case, as I'm now in my 70s, with a lot of years spent in the business world behind me, it all goes to show that you're never to old to learn, doesn't it?

May you, too, enjoy helping to make ODP the directory it deserves to be!
