Our very own Randy Cole did his ' who am I ?)
He was born in Cambridge and has a sister. His wife is Bev. They met in '96. They have no kids but have to cats and 2 sets of golf clubs. Bev is a DIY person and loves to get into home renos. She might be for hire if the payments are made through Randy.
Randy was in Galt Minor Hockey and loved fishing as a kid.
He has volunteered for the Arthritis Society and continues to exercise his passion for old police cars that are owned by the Waterloo Regional Police Service. ( His dad was an officer in the WRPS). They take vintage Police cars to car shows. Randy just loves to drive them and use the siren....scaring the _____t  out of people like me. They have just acquired a retired Crown Victoria Cop car called Vicki.
Randy's business is Whitelaw Automotive that is a supplier of autoparts. They sell a lot of belts in Woodstock. Why? Cause its in the snow BELT!
Golf, Curling and Travel are his present hobbies.
Randy closed by thanking us for accepting him and thanking Chad and his wife of sponsoring him to our Club. Randy said Rotary has been more that he expected.
I said that he forgot to mention that his mom is a world class shortbread cook.
