I serve as Chairman of the Paper Industry Association, on several pulp and paper school foundation boards, but most important of all made a lot of friends along the way. In 1982 Marion died of cancer and I married Jeanette in 1986. We live in the Baltimore-Philadelphia corridor with her two daughters and my three children. There are five grandchildren, including twins.

From 1992 to 1998 I served as V/P of the Institute of Paper Science and Technology in Atlanta. The position involves round the world trips. This job started as a two week consultancy and three presidents later am enjoying it immensely. Jeanette and I spend our time between Atlanta and Hilton Head. In my spare time I serve on several boards and started a consulting firm. Hobbies are wood working lots of walnut waiting in the basement plus Sunbean Alpines to be restored...perhaps after Quilin! Jeanette manages our rental condos. Losing weight is a major hobby leading to a full time job. We love to travel which explains the sorry state of the other hobbies.

3095 Tetreault, Jean
Along the Chambly canal sits the town of Chambly, Qu6bec, where I was born in 1930. This is some 50 km (used to be 30 miles) south of Montr6al (used to be the biggest city in Canada). I left Chambly at the age of 14 (the town never recovered from that departure) to move to Montreal to further my education; my parents knew I was destined to great things. I completed my high school education at St-Stanislas in 1949, having been elected commandant of the cadet corps and president of the school. (I was irresistible and on my way to becoming a star). Having conned the department of defense examiners, I was accepted at RMC; it must have been my curly hair and my charisma that duped them!

I hold certain records at R.M.C.:

1. I was the only cadet to be charged on his first day at the college;
2. As far as I know, I was the only cadet to be charged for standing on the padre's car so I could talk to my girlfriend at Hotel-Dieu Hospital.

I retired from the mad world in 1997. Wishing to escape the pursuit of many females, I succumbed to the charms of my Kingston nurse and we were married on August 13th, 1955. That union produced 5 children: 3 boys and 2 girls. My wife's name is Barbara Ann Plant and her brother is R.M.C.'s rector, Dr. John Plant.

Here are a few of my minor accomplishments:

1. Founded a local Richelieu club
2. Vice-president of Richelieu International
3. Co-founder of the "South Shore Business" club
4. Co-founder of Montreal Centraide (United Way)
5. President of the Montreal Chamber of Commerce (was president during the 1976 Olympics and I attended the Munich Olympics to familiarize myself with the organization (1972)
