John Temesi
Sir Tool

John Temesi, Sir Tool - Year I Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia.  However, John has quite a habit of dropping out of school, so hopefully he'll stick it out for a little while in BC!  John has half of a Forestry degree from the University of New Brunswick, and just returned from Hong Kong where he was teaching English at an all boys high school.  John has never finished high school, but trivial things like that have never stopped him in the past. The "Tool" went on a Rotary Club Exchange to Denmark in 1995-96, and in 1996-97 participated in the Katimavik programme. By the way, he also holds the Chief Scout's, Queen's Venturer, and the Silver Level Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, and due to his service to Scouting John was awarded the Reginald K. Groome Memorial Scholarship by Scouts Canada in 1997.  John has also become an avid triathlete, participating most recently in the Malaysian and Japanese Ironman competitions.  I guess he's found his sports niche.  One thing's for sure - it isn't in cross-country skiing.

Why we call him "Tool"

John has always been the group tool.  The only problem arises when he tries to lead us on a hike (we generally don't listen to him, and then we get lost.)
