During the layoff I was hanging around with a friend Keith Graham who was a pipefitter apprentice at the CPR with two years in, he wanted to get an apprenticeship the outside. we went to inquire at some plumbing shops the first one we visited was A.R. Wright Plumbing and Heating an old established Calgary firm. I sat out in the front office while Keith went into Mr. Art Wright’s office for his interview he came out pleased with the results they going to give him one year for his two years at the CPR. Mr. Wringht saw me sitting there and asked Keith if I was looking for a job. He said if I wanted a job I was hired so this is how I started my career as a plumber gasfitter pipefitter apprentice.
