He has also produced a series of video documentaries on early south western Ontario and is a former television news anchor. His long broadcast career took him to newsrooms across the province in Ottawa, Kingston, Windsor and Stratford but he may be best remembered locally as an anchor of the evening news on CFPL-TV in London.
