    Hi! Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ!

    Early Life

    I am a native of (Canada)

    Since 1997 the Island has been connected to the rest of Canada by The Confederation Bridge which, at 12.9 km is the "longest multi-span bridge over ice covered waters" in the world. I even walked from one end of the bridge to the other in 1997. It's hard to believe but this year is it's 12 th Anniversary!

    If you look at the background to this page you will see what people used to do in the winter to travel back and forth between PEI and NEw Brunswick. These 'ice boats' were replaced with ice breakers. The first one was called 'The Northern Light' and it was WOODEN. I kid you not! The boats (long ago changed to steel or iron or whatever ships are made of (good grief I'm a preacher not a sea captain) were often tied up in windy weather. The bridge is often closed to tractor trailers and other 'high sided' vehicles but has been totally closed only once due to weather, as far as I know! It DOES get pretty windy out there in winter!!!! So 'come and play on my Island'.

    Education

    I am a graduate of Charlottetown Rural High School in Charlottetown PEI and (Class of '84), in Sackville N.B. The Alma Mater of many many Rhodes Scholars and winner many times over of the Maclean's Poll on universities. It's small and it's a great place to study. I have also graduated from in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

    May the class of '87 live forever!!!!! Was it really

    22

    years ago? Good Grief!

    Here we are! Class

    Location and Churches

    On July 1, 2007 I moved to PEI and I now live in the beautiful community of Dundas, in eastern Prince Edward Island.

    I am currently the minister of the Kings United Pastoral Charge It is a Pastoral Charge in PEI Presbytery and The United Church of Canada. of the Maritime Conference .

    Currently I preach at one service per week. We alternate between Dundas, St James in Souris and Bay Fortune. Annandale is closed for the winter. We serve coffee at 9:30 and worship at 10:00. Come join us!

    I try to have my sermon ready by Saturday evening but as a pastoral minister with sick people to visit and quite a few funerals it sometimes does not get done! It has been so long since I had a 'normal week' I wouldn't know what to do with it!

    If you have suggestions for my web pages please email me.

    My hobbies are cross stitch, photography, reading, surfing (the internet) and well, ministers don't get much time for hobbies.

    There is a long story behind my email address. Basically, my younger sister calls me 'Sueboo', which is the 'most printable' of the things she calls or has called me!!!
