4 FOCUS - OCTOBER 2015 ball games Id be watching a camera over home plate the entire game. Not the ideal perspective to watch all night. I did see a lot of sporting events live the 1980 Winter Olympics were a highlight and got to do a fair bit of travelling. Again good fortune landed Peter at the right place in televisions evolution. I was lucky enough to get hired at CFTO he says. It was the big production station in Canada where the facilities existed to stage and record large events. CFTO was a mecca the place you wanted to be if you were in broadcasting. Hegrewwiththeincreasinglysophisticatedtechnology. At one time we used a machine the size of a freezer to record video clips. Technology has changed so dra- matically during my career. Nowadays TV production requires fewer people. Just ask my wife about that. Coincidentally Debbie their son and daughter all work at CTV. Peter suggests that will likely change in the foresee- able future. Debs a Production Assistant but computers have reduced the studio staff of six to eight to just a couple today. Retirements in her future. The couple he says are considering a winter in the sun. In mid-career I took time off to backpack around Europe. Once were both retired weve talked about go- ing to Spain. I really enjoyed that country and want her to experience it as well. Humble and self-effacing Peter doesnt seem in the least distressed that the adulation of this late summer will soon die down. His life he expects will return to peaceful days on the Lake Scugog shore where excite- ment rarely comes calling and the only admirers who clamour for his attention are kids wondering aloud if hes really a superheros alter-ego. Not surprisingly the timing for his life to return to normal is perfect.
