Who am I?
*At St. Andrew’s College, where I was educated from 1926 to 1931, I coached twice a week in geometry as I needed it to get into the Royal Military College. “My coach came to my house twice a week and was paid three dollars per session and earned every penny of it as geometry was beyond my comprehension!”

“A full meeting of the Commission in the morning…. Masses of paper flowing from one side of the table to the other and the inevitable final results that adds up to virtually nothing…. Today it was the turn of the Canadians to indulge in a little…shouting and waving of arms….We continue this nonsense tomorrow afternoon! The only sensible suggestion… came to [naught]. However, it is on the record that we tried and that is what counts – or so I am told!“
