Bio:

I live in Victoria, BC, Canada where I am a doctor at the Cancer Clinic. I married Dawn Williamson in 1975 in Australia and we have two daughters; Kate (married to Craig Pigott in 2007) did a PhD at Cambridge in molecular biology and is now a medical student at UBC in Vancouver, and Jennie, who is studying law at UBC in Vancouver.

I look forward to hearing from family and friends. pblood@shaw.ca
