About Me: I left Merthyr Tydfil in 1968 to see a bit of the world
outside Wales. I attended Quakers Yard Grammar School, follwed by a
5 yr Apprenticeship at Teddington Aircraft Controls. I played rugby
and also was a scuba diver.
Where I Live: London, Ontario is a very nice City. Culturally
very much like any city in the UK. During my last few visits home I
have seen that the UK in general has become very Americanized. Baseball
caps and guys drinking beer from bottles!
Where I Work: Now retired due to a stroke suffered in 1998, but
still very active and alert. At the start and end of my working days
I was in manufacturing management. I spent 25 years as a Management
Consultant and was a Partner with Ernst & Young
Where I Come From: Merthyr Tydfil, once the largest town in Wales
and the iron making capital of the world. Lots of good pubs and gorgeous
girls. The gorgeous girls I remember are likely all grandmothers now!
I remember good friends, good rugby and quite a few characters who kept
us entertained while sipping a pint of Hancocks.
What I Miss: I miss my family and close friends, my parents are
both dead and I am sorry of the time I did not spend with them. I miss
Welsh people, although I do have some Welsh friends close by. And yes
I miss the games at the ARMS PARK and a few pints at the CRITERION after
the game. I also miss a good plate of faggots and peas and Welsh cakes
