Autorenporträt
I was born August 2 1946 at the Grace hospital in ST. John's Newfoundland, my given names are Russell Kelvin and White was my fathers surname, my mother's maiden name is Peyton, which I prefer instead of kelvin, so perhaps I could call myself Peyton White since I'm now an author I could adopt it as my pen name. I attended grammar school, kindergarten to grade 5 at Holloway School on L' Marchant road in ST. John's, it reminds me of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter series by J K Rowling. I then attended Prince of Wales College also on L' Marchant road in St. John's for junior high (grades 6 7 8) and senior high (Grades 9 10 11) I then graduated from Prince of Wales College in June of 1962, I was 16 yrs. old. I then worked for two years at Brookfield Ice Cream also on L' Marchant road in St. John's as a stockroom clerk in the freezer rooms after which I attended The Newfoundland College of Trades & Technology to become an electronic technologist. I then hired on with IBM Canada to be an electronic service technician and in 1967 I moved to Winnipeg Manitoba to start my career as a Customer Engineer servicing all sorts of electromechanical devices that IBM produced in its manufacturing plants and sold to businesses for mainly accounting purposes. After 18 years I left IBM to try to start a business which failed so I worked for smaller businesses until 1993 and moved to Thompson Manitoba where I started working for Manitoba Lotteries servicing vlt terminals, I retired from that job in 2019 after 24 years. I will be 75 years old on the 2 of August 2021 and I'm looking forward to writing my memoirs in the next few years God willing I'm hoping they might be of interest to someone other than myself. Maybe I'll have some sort of income from them to sustain myself and my wife Rose. I don't drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, and I don't use cannabis or any other sort of drugs after 75 yrs. of struggle I've learned to stop killing myself and start loving the temple God gave me.
