WE CELEBRATED OUR GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ON OCT. 18, 2007
Hugh used to be a print and tv journalist, but is now retired and since he got a new computer and an Internet account, does very little else. He E-mails a lot with relatives and other people all over the world. To meet some of Hugh's E-mailers from Everywhere, just click here.
We live in the small rural town of Middleton, N.S. in Nova Scotia's beautiful Annapolis Valley. For 16 years, in the summertime, we used to live in our cottage on the shore of the Bay of Fundy at Port George, until we sold it (Oct. 15, 1999).

Jean and Hugh like opera and we often go to THIS SITE for interesting opera information, and even sound clips of opera singers. And we are members of CARP, the Canadian Asssociation of Retired Persons.
Hugh also has two other web sites. One is a virtual museum of Canadian newspaper history. It contains the story of the first newspapers on Canada's west coast. It also has a section about his early years working for the Sherbrooke, Quebec, Daily Record, from 1953 to 1968, for the Montreal Gazette from 1957 to 1959, and for the Victoria Daily Colonist from 1968 to 1973. And there are pages about his maternal grandfather, George MacDonald, who was a pioneer journalist with the Canadian Press. The other web site contains pages about his other grandfather, Albert Doherty.
