While in early years he tried many musical instruments, he was still searching for that one particular one until the family moved to Vancouver, Wa., where he realized that the trombone was for him. He studied six years with Burns Powell, famed trom bonist, and was then as good as he could ever be. His re markable music from within brought him more and more invitations to play for dances, in theaters and for concerts. Through his warm and friend ly personality and a life based on sound values and hard work, he eventually found his place in the sun.
