Reg studies to become a recording engineer

Reggie loved music and one career that he pursued after leaving St. Mary's was to become a recording engineer. He went to Toronto, and attended a school where he took courses towards that goal.

He ultimately was not able to start a career in this industry, and moved from Toronto to Moncton where he took a course in Avionics (aircraft electronics).

Reg completes a program in Avionics

During this period, Reggie attended New Brunswick Community College in Moncton, New Brunswick, to pursue his dream of working in the airline industry by taking a program in aircraft electronics (i.e. avionics).  He graduated #2 in his class with honors.  His overall grades were as follows:

• Term 1:  Sept. 6, 1988 to Dec. 7, 1988.          Average 87.8 Rank: 2/24
• Term 2:  Dec. 12, 1988 to Mar. 21, 1989        Average 86.5  Rank:  2/23
• Term 3:  March 28, 1989 to June 21, 1989     Average 80.7  Rank:  4/27
• Term 4:  Sept. 5, 1989 to Dec. 6, 1989           Average 84.0
• Term 5:  Dec. 11, 1989 to March 21, 1990      Average 78.0
• Term 6:  Mar. 26, 1990 to June 22, 1990        Average 72.2

Reggie looked very hard for a job in Avionics and contacted just about every airline and service company in the industry.  He worked for brief periods in the industry, but his conviction and criminal record prevented him from obtaining and securing long-term employment.  He kept dozens of his application letters for these positions and really did try to work in this profession.
