After graduation:
I had 3 very difficult choices:
UBC
Officers Training School (Army)
Play Major Jr. A hockey in the Detroit Red Wing chain.
I chose Hockey and was sent to Edmonton.
I retired from Stelco, the largest steel company in Canada, in 2000 after 43 1/2 years, starting in Edmonton and finishing in Hamilton. My career at Stelco had a little bit of everything from Industrial Engineering to Operations. I was something of a nomad as I moved around about every 3 years primarily in operations. The last 15 years were at the General Management level.
