Anécdotas
Carla Wilson wrote that "He served in the late 1970s as chairman of the board for B.C. Ferries.
In 1994, the long-time advocate of B.C.-built catamarans was hired to advise the B.C. NDP government on fast-ferries technology.
He left the project in 1996, later lambasting the design of the ill-fated PacifiCats ferries, saying they should have been smaller and lighter. The project was poorly planned and spending was uncontrolled, he said."
