By Ron Slee – Learning Without Scars
Over the course of my work life, now spanning sixty years, I have always been an early riser. That still seems strange to me in that one of the things I did to pay my way through university was to play the piano in a bar. I finished typically at 4:00 AM. I was still on the ski hill at 9:00 AM with a group of students.
I started work in this industry in 1969. Pretty soon thereafter I was travelling two weeks a month, sometimes more. Being in my early twenties it never bothered me. I thought it was exciting. It was the time of James Bond and so I ate alone a lot. I always had a book to keep me company.
