Early Education
Elementary education was obtained in Ottawa, Ontario with senior high school education at Luther College in Regina, Saskatchewan. I attended the University of Toronto for first year studies in Aeronautical Engineering before attending McGill University, Macdonald College, Quebec where I earned my B.Sc.(Agr) in Animal Biochemistry with a partial degree in Agricultural Economics in 1952. During my undergraduate years I demonstrated in physics and chemistry laboratories. In the summer of 1950, I was employed as summer help in the Entomology Division of the Department of Agriculture in Ottawa. In the summer of l95l, I was employed at Macdonald College as a student research assistant.
