<strong>RICHARD</strong> <strong>ALLEN</strong> <strong>SCOTT</strong><br />
THROUGH THE YEARS<br />
1998<br />
I was busy enough, but not really happy. One of <strong>the</strong> perks of<br />
<strong>the</strong> job, however, was cross-country travel with <strong>the</strong> Project<br />
Manager to every Province to give presentations on <strong>the</strong> Year<br />
2000 issue.<br />
25 th Anniversary<br />
Since being assigned to <strong>the</strong> project I was questioning my<br />
future. It took a few months, but <strong>the</strong>n I decided that I would<br />
seek alternate employment opportunities outside of <strong>the</strong> Force.<br />
I started looking in earnest. In July, I wrote a memo to <strong>the</strong><br />
D/Commr in which I stated “I am concerned with <strong>the</strong> general<br />
malaise I see at all levels within <strong>the</strong> organization.” So you see,<br />
<strong>the</strong> troubles that plague <strong>the</strong> Force today were seeded at least<br />
20 years ago.<br />
In May, Sharon and I took a trip to England, my first since<br />
1971, and Sharon’s very first, ever. So many sights and<br />
relatives seen. Our favourite locations were in <strong>the</strong> Cotswolds.<br />
Tim found employment in Toronto at Whitehall and Robbins as a trade marketing analyst and<br />
became established and comfortable, Robyne was plying her travel agent trade at various<br />
businesses in town, and Chris again applied for <strong>the</strong> RCMP.<br />

Elizabeth Hailey Scott-<br />
Holmes. She lived with her<br />
mo<strong>the</strong>r and grandparents,<br />
but after a few months we<br />
were able to get her on <strong>the</strong><br />
weekends.<br />
