Being out of work was new for me, and I had to find something to do in the mean time to pay for my room and board and other necessities of life. I had some money saved to tide me over for a while, but I knew it would not last forever. I had a friend named Keith who was a third-year apprentice in the pipe shop at Ogden, he was fed up with railway and wanted to find a job in his trade on the outside. I was with Keith when he went for an interview at a plumbing shop on McLeod Trail; it was called A.R. Wright, Plumbing and Heating Ltd. I sat out side while Keith went for his interview with the owner Art Wright, the interview went well and Keith would start as a second-year apprentice. Mr. Wright saw me sitting there outside his office and asked Keith if I was looking for work too Keith asked me and I said sure, why not. So I was hired on as a first-year apprentice plumber and gas fitter a start of a new career.
