Profile time again...Profile II : Peter Joyce.


Peter is one of our administrators who will lend a hand to any aspect of the 696 project. Peter is an retired officer from the Canadian Armed Forces which explains his love of orange and red. After all those years wearing drab browns and greens Peter has come out of the closet (wardrobe wise) since retirement. I feel I don't have to post a picture of Peter because he is easily spotted in all the previous photos in this blog...just look for "le grand orange".

Peter is from Montréal and is a big fan of the Montreal & Southern County Railway. He also is a modeller and has scratch-built a beautiful model of a M&SC car.

Pete works all our fund raising events like Railfair, Open Doors and promotes the 696 project at OVAR meetings. 

He is always on hand to partake in our field trips to the Halton County Radial Railway Museum...working by day and operating their streetcars by night.

Always fearful on missing "coffee break" at Timmy's, Pete the Timekeeper always makes sure we all know the time is 20:45 and the clean-up process must commence. Once we are all gathered at Timmy's, Pete the Story Teller regales us with stories of his military experiences all over the world...these stories I enjoy immensely.
