I was always aware of the Arrow and of Avro Canada for as long as I can rembemer, but my interest in them grew around 1984. What I do know about them both is a fraction of what other people know, I think I still know more about the Arrow than todays generation. I'm always proud to mention the fact that 'Canada did it first'. The movie, The Arrow was interesting. It gave us all an insight to the mystery that surrounds the Arrow and the 'Bloody PC Government'. Although the movie had a sense of realism to it, I don't think it should be taken as the gospel truth when it comes to the Avro Arrow or the company itself (although Dan Aykroyd did play a very convincing Crawford Gordon), but instead as a way to understand the history of our country in the 50's.

Today I live in Modesto, California with my wife Tricia and our three cats, Lucky Weeble, Big Jake Li'l Bits and Mystery Mae Boxer, where I have my own web business, Digital Archiving and watch tv. 8-)

My hobbies include Star Trek, Star Trek Micromachines, Photography, Drawing, Film Making, Collecting various things (this interest varies according to season, it seems), Model Building (1/72 scale aircraft, 1/48 scale cars, and any scale of ships - aircraft carrier's, battleships, etc.), and of course, the Arrow.

I have strong Canadian Pride, because my loyalty for Canada (and all things Canadian) out-weighs anything else. I'm a big fan of the Snowbirds, RCMP Musical Ride, our military, and a huge supporter of what Canada gave the world (see Avro Engineer's and NASA, The Canadarm, The Guess Who, etc.)
