Work update

It's officially fall and I have gone through my first sports registration at the Community Club where I work. 
It was hectic, and crazy busy as I like but I learned alot and it was fun.

Yes, my volunteer job there turned into a paying position and I get paid for 4 hours a day.  I usually work around 6 or more but you all know me, so enough said on that.  I am happy and love the work, so that is the important thing. 

I never realized the work involved in keeping a community club going.  And I never realized that it costs so much for the kids to sign up for sports.  There were many cheques written for over $1000 for a few kids to play.  As I have to explain to many parents, the club does not set the bulk of the fees.  They go right to the sports association.  Of that $450 hockey fee, we keep the $35 registration fee.  Who would have thunk????

The L1011 and Chris

When my Dad's widow died a few years ago, my brother and I went to Nova Scotia to settle the estate.  I brought home some of the Air Canada airplane pictures he had, the Viscount, the Vanguard, the L1011, all of the planes from his era.  A few were from the manufacturers signed on the back to my Dad. 

I took a few to the Air Canada office to adorn our bare walls and one of the Managers noticed them.  He mentioned that his first Air Canada flight was on an L1011, so I looked and sure enough I had one of those pictures.  I brought it into him, but for a few years it sat in his office on the floor.

Yesterday when I was visiting everyone, I dropped into his new office to see him and his assistant. 

My Dad would have been very proud to know where his picture ended up.  That manager is Chris Isford and he is now the Controller of Air Canada.  

Happy Retirement Sharon

One of my favorite people from Air Canada retired yesterday.  And of course my photos did not turn out!

The celebration was already started when I arrived about 11:40 and it was still in full swing when we left around 8:30!    I will write more when I get some pictures, but for now:

Thanks Sharon for all the fun, productive times we had!
