<strong>RICHARD</strong> <strong>ALLEN</strong> <strong>SCOTT</strong><br />

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

2013<br />

My 2-year CSIS contract finished this year, but I was assured that ano<strong>the</strong>r would be<br />

forthcoming… which it did not until 2014. In <strong>the</strong> meantime, I had been asked by <strong>the</strong> Director-<br />

General for whom I worked if I would consider becoming an employee of CSIS. Anticipating<br />

that ano<strong>the</strong>r contract would likely be coming (which paid a lot more than an employee salary), I<br />

respectfully declined, but was never<strong>the</strong>less impressed that at my age I would be asked. As it<br />

happened, that Director-General took a promotional opportunity to ano<strong>the</strong>r agency, so I would<br />

have been left stranded!<br />

For Sharon’s 60 th . birthday in May, we visited B.C. once again, flying into Vancouver and taking<br />

<strong>the</strong> ferry to Victoria for a few days of sightseeing and killer-whale-watching.<br />
