Mum (jokingly) never let me forget she had to quit her front office desk job at Labatt's downtown to check in to the hospital to have me. Apparently I came just a few months too early for her to benefit from the Unemployment Insurance Act of 1971 that codified paid maternity benefits back home...

Like all of these items above (and posts to come) it's a pleasant memory of Dad...

Cheers Friends!
