In September 2020, I moved from Burnaby, B.C., to Kingston and I am now living downtown. I’ve been actively writing, editing, and publishing books. I published Famous Writers, a report on 24 writers in South Africa whose work I have edited and published on Amazon. My wife, Claire, MEd, died in 2019 and I published A Tribute to Claire as a biography. Eight mystery adventure stories for middle school kids can be found under The Case of the Greedy Goat or Brockville Mysteries and Adventures on Amazon. My latest adventure stars me in my return to Kingston: The Case of the Intrepid Investigator. I published stories by Olive Caldwell Lee (Queen’s) and others.

I have been retired for a number of years. I am a veteran and attended Queen’s after the war.
I have many fond memories. The social activity was great. Queen’s students were so wonderful. I remember some beautiful girls and great times. I wish I could relive some of these moments.

I am 102 years of age and living in a seniors’ residence in Toronto. I have found much of interest during the pandemic because of technology. I have wonderful lectures on operas, artists, history, and books. I have enjoyed the Metropolitan Opera on Netflix. I have enjoyed music on my Google phone. I have admired those who have worked on the front lines and filled the community needs at this time. I also have had the pleasure of playing bridge online during the pandemic, playing with a variety of bridge clubs and with bridge players around the world. Best wishes to all.

Kimberley and Warren welcomed a baby girl, Tia Sophie, on July 20, 2021, in Edmonton, Alta.

In April 2020, I became one of the founding directors of Future Ancestors Services, an Indigenous- and Black-owned, youth-led professional services social enterprise that advances climate justice and systemic barrier removal with lenses of anti-racism and ancestral accountability. While centring decolonized and Indigenized practices, we support our clients and community in addressing systemic issues that disadvantage certain groups of people; our connections to land and others; and the well-being of Earth. As an organization that defines our team members as future ancestors, we carry the burden that comes with that title: the responsibility of reimagining and remodelling our societies to welcome people of various identities and ways of being. Our services integrate the notions and values of accessibility, anti-ageism, and anti-racism in both English and French (while we also collectively increase our capacity in Michif-Cree).
