Guelph Ontario 1978 – Dublin St

Kids; My first year after becoming a landed immigrant in Canada, I attended York University and worked at Toronto Western Hospital as a Respiratory Tech. I soon realized that York and I did not agree. Liz got accepted to U of Guelph, so I drove to the university and paid a visit to Mr. McNally, the counselor and my admitting road block. He told me there were no positions left. I informed him that I would attend classes without credit as I was there for knowledge, not a piece of paper. He suddenly said, wait a moment, picked up the phone, and asked the registrar for an admitting number. A perfect example of: If you can’t boggle them with your brains, baffle them with your BS”. It worked. That gentleman became my confidant and supporter during my undergraduate degree at the University of Guelph.

Liz and I found an apartment in a duplex on Dublin St. in Guelph. Our first neighbor moved out and gave me his 10-speed bike. In order to get the bike free, I had to take in his Jack Dempsey fish and 50 gal fish tank. Jack and I spend many hours together – another story.
