He also served for several years on the Board of General Motors and in 2005 was appointed Canadian Ambassador to Washington. He is now Deputy Chair of TD Bank Financial Group. "My father had an old green car like a station wagon. We had ten in our family and we went to midnight mass with a buffalo robe over us in the back. We lived on a farm and we also used this vehicle to haul pigs and sawdust and everything else!" "In high school, I played a lot of sports, and I bought a Zephyr (an English -built Ford). I used it for school trips. We had no school buses so we'd round up four or five cars and put the team in the cars. "In my third year at university, I worked for the summer in Toronto, where I fell in love with a red Austin -Healey Sprite. It was so small, and just as cute as a Labrador pup. I drove it home to New Brunswick by way of Boston to visit an elderly aunt. The car broke down in the middle of Harvard Square. "I'm a farm boy from the Maritimes and Harvard Square was filled with what we then called hippies. They came over and said: 'Hey, man, lotta smoke comin' outa the car.' And my aunt was in the car with me. "One hippie said: 'We'll push you to a garage.' Then another said: 'We'll take the old lady home for ya.' And I said: That's nice.' "And she said: 'Are you crazy? This is Boston! This isn't the farm!' So she stayed with me and the hippies pushed us to a garage. "I was a law student at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia and I drove my Sprite there. I was president of the Student Union and I had an office. "One day, I went looking for my car and it was gone. I went back to my office to phone the police and there was my car, sitting in my office! "A bunch of students had carried it into the building and plunked it down in my office. I had to round up some people to get it out. We still joke about it to this day. "Around 1970 I bought a new Volkswagen for $2,274. Several years later, I was on the Board of General Motors and we had a new vehicle every three months. At the GM test track in Detroit I also drove Jaguars and Ferraris and just about every other make so we could check out the competition. Older members ofour family claim that I was born in a car in the middle of a snow drift." Do you have any car stories or photos to share with our readers?

Seaforth' Lions Fishing Derby draws 147 kids Aaron Jacklin The Seaforth Lions shifted the focus of this year's fishing derby to giving every kid a prize of some kind, according to coordinator Paul Stephen. "There's nothing worse than see- ing a disappointed kid," he said. Every one of the 147 registered kids got a T-shirt with the name of the event and the 13 sponsors on the back. Stephen said they were down four kids this year from last year, though they'd expected another 50 people with the beautiful weather. Stephen said 120 fish were caught during the derby.
