October 3, Meeting
Malcolm G. Kelly
This talk presents my personal choice, as a 40-year sports journalist, of the 10 Canadian athletes that made the most impact on our country. From Tom Longboat, to Nancy Greene, to Ben Johnson, to the hero of 1972, it includes personal memories, video highlights, and history you may not have known. For Probus clubs, it offers a chance for members to reminisce about athletes they saw compete.
Tim was born in Toronto. A lifelong love for photography was born in a Kmart Camera shop after High School.
A BA in Communicatios from Carleton University got his professional life in motion. A Marketing Manager working in business communications and strategy for companies such as Imperial Oil were part of a very successful career in business which later in life included working in partnership with his wife.
Tim has interviewed and written about, numerous prominent figures in the Canadian business world.
A lifelong photographer, Tim developed a special interest in the world of Art Deco, and has become an expert on the subject, using his photographic skills worldwide.
He is an enthusiastic volunteer for groups such as the CNIB and children in Honduras.
Tim is an avid outdoorsman, all seasons!
He is probably most proud of his two sons, who are working their way through PHDs in Physics programs in Waterloo, and Boston.
A great story. Thanks for sharing Tim!
