December 3, 2025 - our 44th Wedding Anniversary

On December 3rd, 1981, Sally and I got married at the Vancouver Courthouse under the waterfall. We nearly missed our wedding ceremony since as we were leaving our Peter Wardle designed townhouse at Macdonald and West Second, the front door handle fell off and we couldn't get out. We eventually had to squeeze out through a partially open sliding door.

We waited five years before getting married. Or rather I waited five years. But this had more to do with my mother than any uncertainty on my part. I knew we would be good together and we have been. Most of our friends are amazed that Sally could put up with me for so long, but everyone who meets her knows her to be a lovely and remarkably open-minded and caring person. That's no doubt why our two daughters have turned out so well and why she has so many friends, from so many different walks of life.

Since our wedding day, we've been fortunate to travel a lot including a nine-month trip around the world in 2007. We've golfed together, partied together, had a lot of meals together, and enjoyed special occasions like the Olympics. At our age, we know that we are beginning to run out of time, but we have few regrets and will continue to enjoy each day as if it were our last and hopefully enjoy a few more anniversaries together.
