Chairmanship of the Royal Montreal Centennial Cup Bonspiel Committee since 1999 included responsibility for the special 200th Anniversary Bonspiel which featured teams from Canada, USA and Scotland. I have served also on the Executive Planning Committees for the Bicentennial St Andrew’s Ball-2006, the Provincial Masters Curling Championship for Quebec-2006 and the Canadian Branch Colts-2007 and for the past 23 years have coordinated the long standing annual competition between Royal Montreal and Le Club de curling Jacques-Cartier from Quebec City.
I have played in the International Gordon Medal for the past 7 years and since 1979 I have been a member of the Royal Montreal Curling Club team that plays in the Annual 3-Day Competition between Royal Montreal and The Country Club from Brookline, Massachusetts, USA.
I met the Scots when they played at Royal Montreal in 2003 and I have heard nothing but great reviews from fellow members Doug Brown and Jack Martin, of their tour to Scotland in 1998.
A member of La chambre de la sécurité financière and the Canadian Ukrainian Professional Business Men’s Association of Montreal, I enjoy acting as master of ceremonies at anniversaries, weddings and church functions.
A former golfer , my favourite pastime now is visiting major and minor league baseball parks in both Canada and the USA and as a result, have been approached to join the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR)! I just might!
