Bill's early childhood days were spent in Halifax, Newfoundland and Victoria 
since his dad was in the RCN and was stationed in naval bases during the war years. 
Eventually his Dad and Mom took over the family farm near Strathclair, Manitoba.

Sue-On was born in Southern China, smuggled to Hong Kong as a toddler, 
and at age 10 she and her Mom joined her father in Newdale on the Canadian prairies.
-- a small town near Strathclair where she married Bill a few years later. 

They obtained six University degrees, taught high school and university 
and in their spare time toured Canada, USA and England as musicians and recording artists.
Between music tours and teaching they travelled extensively across Canada 
and the many other countries represented below.
Many of these travels are also described in their Musical Odyssey memoirs.
