RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT - Through the Years

RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT THROUGH THE YEARS 1998 I was busy enough, but not really happy. One of the perks of the job, however, was cross-country travel with the Project Manager to every Province to give presentations on the Year 2000 issue. 25 th Anniversary Since being assigned to the project I was questioning my future. It took a few months, but then I decided that I would seek alternate employment opportunities outside of the Force. I started looking in earnest. In July, I wrote a memo to the D/Commr in which I stated “I am concerned with the general malaise I see at all levels within the organization.” So you see, the troubles that plague the Force today were seeded at least 20 years ago. In May, Sharon and I took a trip to England, my first since 1971, and Sharon’s very first, ever. So many sights and relatives seen. Our favourite locations were in the Cotswolds. Tim found employment in Toronto at Whitehall and Robbins as a trade marketing analyst and became established and comfortable, Robyne was plying her travel agent trade at various businesses in town, and Chris again applied for the RCMP. Grandchild #1 - Jordan Chris with Jordan at 4 months year, a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire. Christopher presented us with our first grandchild in August of this year, Jordan Elizabeth Hailey Scott- Holmes. She lived with her mother and grandparents, but after a few months we were able to get her on the weekends. He also invested in new wheels this 4 Generations June 2017 199
RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT THROUGH THE YEARS I was successful in securing employment outside the Force as a Consultant, with HVR Canada Inc., a British firm with an office in Ottawa, and which specialized in risk management. My last day of work with the RCMP was December 4 th 1998, although I was still ‘on the books’ until May 1999, having accumulated pension retirement leave. Kept getting my pay cheques for that additional time, as well as salary from HVR. Good deal. Could finally open a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) both for me (with my severance pay, which they don’t give any more) and for Sharon. Over the course of my 32 years with the RCMP, I had 13 physical transfers. I was not sad to leave the service, though I never thought I’d utter those words. I asked not to have any ‘going-away’ functions because, for one thing, I doubt if anyone would have attended, and given my state of mind, I probably would have said things that should best be kept to myself. Instead, I received a gift from the Year 2000 crew late in 1999, and my Officers’ Mess gift of my rank badges, was delivered to my house by the member who made those mementos. I left quietly, without fanfare or remorse. I was 50 years old. The one thing I did for myself was buy a new car as my retirement gift. A 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix. Made me feel so much better. Had to go out and buy civilian clothes also, since I had been in uniform for so long. Christmas - 1998 June 2017 200
