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.html
& http://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

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.
