| Del Collin. Del retired in 1996 after a dual career of 38 years (RCMP and then Ambulance Management). Del and his wife, Colette, enjoy their semi-rural home and the wildlife in Thetis Heights. Whoever said, "You will have lots of time to do the things you enjoy when you retire", probably never retired! Its a struggle to get all those things in but I give it a good try. Right now a lot of time is taken up by: tennis (naturally), woodworking, gardening, two motorcycle clubs (the very sedate ones), a little golf when it can be worked in and last but not least enjoying family time.

With retirement came the freedom to live wherever we chose and so Vera and I moved to Victoria in 1989.

The difference of course is that now I am busy with music, tennis, golf and other activities that I enjoy. Please click here for more:Fred's Page
