28 YEARS AGO TODAY- EXACTLY ON THIS DAY

28 YEARS AGO TODAY- EXACTLY ON THIS DAY, MONDAY JULY 30th 1984
STARTED MY CAREER WITH THE CALGARY PUBLIC LIBRARY!!
On my first morning there, I was so poor that I wore construction boots as they had no holes in them. Painted them liquid shoe polish “Black”, so they were not as noticeable and no one said anything anyhow, strange? Put my hair up in a pony tail (remember, I had hair once? LOL) and then started my day at the Central Library, Magazine and Newspaper Department.
Because and indirectly the Calgary Public Library gave me much! It helped save a daughter from, child abduction, gave the other daughter a job, a step daughter a job and a sister In-Law Law also my Wife whom I met there jobs. As I said, from there I was blessed with the “Best Wife” ever and then I had an expanded family, which grew into 3 Grandchildren and NOTE: AS OF TODAY #4; Is on its way! I will keep you posted.
For sure working with Parents of Missing Children, involved me with 397 Missing Children cases since 1990! http://teamhope.org/who.htmlhttp://www.missingkids.com
The opportunity to work Hurricane Katrina, relief work as my pony tail (remember that hair?), sold and totally due to CPL for $4,000 that let  me and another person go down and help out with Samaritans Purse. http://www.samaritanspurse.ca/
The ability to turn off an and on a Computer and with some skills I went on a Center Street Church Mission to South Africa to install laptops for a Zulu High School that had none! http://www.cschurch.ca/missions/
CPL even attended my Baptism and I am now also a Rapid Response Chaplin.
Yes, CPL did “All This” through the hiring of myself 28 years ago today! Yes they also did not notice that they had hired a Klingon Warrior! Qapla’!

My Favourite song of 1984 was:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvkKX035484 Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jr.
It is true there are ghost at certain libraries! I will never be one as I am going to heaven!
Ghostbusters: Library;

Another Favourite Movies for 1984 = Terminator or T-1
“Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are …” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYOoWCv_PYE 
This is from T-2, notice in 1984 that I was also built like Arnold, well I am a little out of shape these days.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b1a-hqvGNI I know, now days I would have forgiven my Klingon brother instead Cuz I am not really; Bad To The Bone.
With LOVE to you all and all that heaven will allow!
Sir Richard....
