I never really wanted to be an actor....

... I always wanted to be... a lumberjack!

Yes! A lumberjack!

Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia!

The smell of fresh cut timber! The giant redwood! The larch! The fir! The mighty Scots pine! With my best girlie by my side, we'd sing... sing... sing!

Oh, you get the idea. *g*

Pics of Sir Shanks from the L.A. auction wearing *that* shirt (and I wonder if he'd give it up for auction? *g*) in the usual spot.


Enjoy!

P.S. With many thanks, again, to Paul and Michelle Harvath for taking photos and saving me the hassle of taking my camera on holiday. :-)

A good % of Canuck students do a spot of lumberjacking to help pay for their way through college...am sure Michael could very well have done a stint.....it's a dangerous job though...my beloved cousin Phil was killed during his student days whilst doing the job....

Oh no worries...it happened in 1968 - long time ago now....it's a fact of life over there that this sort of thing does happen...my aunt talked about it to more for the first time this year on the night out in the pub with all the family in Kelowna.....I'm glad she did...I know very little about their early life over there...Dad never really talked to them that much then...it was only later on in his life and hers that they started chatting over the phone more...I'm learning a lot more about my Canadian Family first hand thanks to my travels!...

Sorry to hear about your cousin, sweetie. {{{{}}}}

The lad worked on an oil rig, and did construction work. From the 2004 Femme magazine interview:

"I paid my way through university by spending my summer months either working on an oil rig or doing construction, whether it was building a mill or working in the mill itself. It's the best way for a young man to make college tuition: making $15 an hour and getting his hands dirty, making big ones into little ones..."
