Clarice and Peter Buchanan
Upon graduation, I spent the rest of the year at our country place / hobby farm on Lake Massawippi in the Eastern Townships, close to the Vermont border.
I moved to Windsor Ontario, working for Chrysler, for one year, then back to Montreal working for Northern Electric a year, or so, being transferred every few months around the “eastern Region” of Quebec and the Maritimes. I met my wife Clarice in 1968 while stationed in Newfoundland. I joined the R.C.M.P. and spent all my service in the Maritimes; the last twenty years in Nova Scotia. Our two daughters were both born in Newfoundland. I retired in 1996.
We celebrated our 41st. wedding anniversary this August, with our daughters and their families, including our five grandchildren, ages nine to fifteen.
Our lives revolve around family—grandchildren, at this point, and some travel. We have just returned from a road-trip to Newfoundland with four of them. If anyone had told me in 1964 that I would be blessed with such a full life of family and grandchildren I wouldn’t have been able to comprehend that gift. I do now.
