My Kingston — October 17
What are your earliest memories of Kingston?
Watching the horse-drawn National Bakery bread carts (delivering bread all over Kingston) and fishing off the downtown waterfront in crystal-clear waters.
What do you miss when you are not in Kingston?
My favourite hang-out spots and the peace and tranquility of home in the hills of Irish Town.
What are your favourite home comforts?
Sitting on the deck lyming with friends and looking after the “animal farm” (dogs, birds, cats, fish, etc).
What would you do if you were mayor (of Kingston) for a day?
It would be difficult to accomplish much in one day, but I would introduce a drive to properly house homeless persons, particularly the elderly, in a humane and sustainable manner.
