In 1951 Bill married Nancy Beer and they had six children: Susan, is a nurse, married to a surgeon in El Paso, Texas. They have 4 children. Daphne; a housewife, is the Manager, Bombay C0,, Moncton. She is the mother of two children. Jane, a Civil Servant with the New Brunswick Government, is the mother of three children. William John, a physiotherapist, runs his own clinic in Oromocto, N.B. He is the father of three children. Phillip James, is a Warrant Officer with the Canadian Forces (Artillery). He lives in Yarmouth, NS, and is the father of 3 children. Nancy Elizabeth is married and works as a 911 operator in Lower Sackville, N.S. Nancy has two children.

Bill says that the most significant occurrence in his life since graduation from St. Dunstan’s has been the family he and Nancy have raised. They are now trying to spread their attention over seventeen grandchildren. Since a larger group of their children lived in New Brunswick, they decided it was easier to live in the Capital of that Province than travel back and forth from the Kensington area in PEI where they had lived after retiring from the Army.

Bill thoroughly enjoyed being on the Executive of the Kensington Legion for sixteen years. Two of those years he served as President.

His most memorable recollection from his St. Dunstan’s days was rooming with Gerard “Toots” MacInnis. “ A finer man God never made. We roomed together for years and when Father Landrigan kicked me out in my sophomore year, Toots tried his best to cover for me. But to no avail. He was a tremendous fellow and had so much to offer.” Another memorable recollection was raiding the refectory with Shana Francis and usually Toots. We regularly visited the refectory at might through a long tunnel ( at the rear

of the Main Building) to partake of the goodies laid out for the Faculty’s evening lunch. (Things we never saw at our own meals).

Another memorable recollection was planting a bottle on the overhead pipes in front of the disciplinarian’s room on the top floor of the Science Building (Grade XII). Then we would return to our own room to shake the pipes which would cause the bottle to crash to the floor. He recalls that this nearly drove the disciplinarian crazy and he was soon replaced by Father Butler who shaped up the residents on that floor pretty quickly. Fox, himself, was the recipient of one of Father Butler’s punches.
