About Me
Next to loving and enjoying my family I enjoy travel and I have enjoyed working with anything which has wheels and a motor since before I was old enough to drive . One of my newest activities, which I did a lot of during my high school and university days, is dancing.
The pull down menus in this section provide information on my family, education and training, involvement with industry associations, other organizations and highlight recognition I received for my contribution.
Travel
This Bali Indonesia sunset, was a two minute walk from my hotel room. I create a Flickr album for many of the places I visit. Click on the links to see some of my travels or visit my Flickr account to see all my albums.
Vehicles
My 2004 Mercedes Benz SLK 230 provides a lot of driving enjoyment during the summer months. We attend many cruise nights together and friends enjoy being taken for a drive with the top down.
I have owned a lot of vehicles since I started buying and fixing them when still in high school. My Bill's Vehicles Flickr album contains pictures of many of them.
The newest addition to my collection is a 302 hp 2021 Toyota Rav 4 PRIME (Plug-in- Hybrid) which I am very much enjoying getting to know. The only problem with getting a new vehicle during a pandemic is that one does not have anywhere to go. Hopefully, restrictions will permit a trip to the Maritimes in the fall.
Ballroom Dancing
I began ballroom dancing in 2018. It provides good physical and mental activity, is a lot of fun and I have met a lot of interesting folks while dancing. I even let myself be talked into entering a ballroom dance competition in Niagara Falls which was a fun event.
I have nothing but praise for the instructors at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Kitchener. They are exceptionally talented, professional and a lot of fun to work with.
The Westway Dance Club in Toronto, Guelph Social Dance, and Hepcat Swing in Kitchener have provided excellent social dance opportunities.
