Mississauga · recorded holding office in 1988
One of the three organizers of the Mississauga Leather Guild, with Joyce Scruton and Lea Love, who together formed its first Executive (Joyce Scruton's own memorial tribute, Fall 2015, dates this to more than thirty years before her 2015 death). He made a square for the CSCL Leather Quilt. He showed three pieces in the Society's exhibition at the Etobicoke Art Gallery, 4-29 September 1992, and his work won a Craftsman Ribbon at the Society's 2002 Annual. A member remembered with a tribute and a new award in his honour in 2007. He wrote “Building a Mouse House and Scanner Store” for The Leather Crafters Journal in 1992 (see Members in print on the Links page).
