Talk:Bruce Newman

Some time I will fill you in on the correct details of my Dad’s career. Here is a taste: He designed electrical meters, not clocks. And was transferred to Guelph in 1963/4 and again in 1967/8 to head up and manage a new department at the Guelph operation for Sangamo. He did work for Hydro in the same capacity for a couple of early years. I believe he was headhunted for that job. I expect he did not participate in the war because of his eyesight (bad - glasses from an early age) as well as being in University. He actually had two university degrees. He began at age 16 I am told. Attended Assumption College in Windsor - now University of Windsor for a general arts degree and then chemical engineering at U of T. Uncle Jack told me he was quite brilliant. He used to pace when he talked - sound familiar? I think he and you would have been kindred spirits.
