Personal biographical information
My partner Sarah Cummings-Truszkowski is an educator and visual artist and community organizer, originally from Manotick, Ontario. We found one another in Victoria Hall residence, at Queen's University, and have been together ever since. We have three offspring, Ella Gwendolyn (aged 16 years), Otis Arthur (aged 13 years), and Grace Kathleen (aged 10 years).
In my spare time, I work ceaselessly on my 110 year old home in Regina's Cathedral heritage neighbourhood, study Japanese daily, as well as attempt to keep my 1977 MG Midget in good spirits for bouts of open-air motoring in the relatively brief Saskatchewan summer. |
