His brother insisted that John has to be a dentist and convinced John to study dentistry. He did a general practice in dentistry, then became a licensed anesthetist. Later he became fascinated with rehabilitating dentistry, and did this around 25 years of his practice. His work at U of Alberta was teaching and research in technology development. He developed students and academic exchange program with Dresden, Germany. He dreamed to develop the same exchange program with Ukraine. Although he does not have any nationalistic feelings and considers himself more Canadian than Ukrainian, he wants Ukraine to have an advantage from collaboration with North American researchers. John did some first steps to establish such collaboration before he retired. He wants to go to Ukraine and find the records about his parents in the Greek-Catholic church but now he is asking whether he can do this through the Internet. (No - the interviewer answers).

They bought in a store just several products, as little as possible - cereals, flour, peanuts and other nuts for Christmas or Easter, sometimes cookies, canned sardines... the rest was raised in their large garden. They had a lot of different domestic birds, cows for milk purposes and pigs for meat. They also had horses, dogs and cats. Clothing at that time - the most inexpensive clothings that they purchased via Eaton's and Simpson's. As John was the youngest among brothers, he almost never had new clothing. A white shirt and a suit was an obligatory part of clothing for public events. His mother did not make clothing but she repaired it via Singer sewing machine. Chores - because he had older brothers, he did not have any major responsibilities. He helped others when he saw the need or was asked. In the fall, he helped in the gardening. When they had purchased a tractor and other machines, he was not interested in them, in contrast to his older brothers. When he was 6-7 years old, he took and watched the cattle along the road where the grass was best. At that time, each child was an asset in a household. Everyone worked for the family.

And this is fully knowing that he would be pulling some staff but they would let him do this. And he would go and change sugar and salt and do little tricks like that. It was very exciting to have 6-7 men, all well-known to the community, in your house. John recalls that one was dressed in some sort of costume to indicate that he was the chort (devil). All pretended to watch him. And singing sometimes was outstanding. \nLater a large Russian group of people moved into the area. They were marvelous singers and heavy drinkers. They lived another ten miles further north of John's family. They would come into town on Saturday to do shopping. At night, they were drunk, and on their way back, they would sing nice songs. John said they were waiting for them to sing. \nHe is asked about other costumes for Malanka performance. John assumes they all had costumes so that people were not supposed to recognize them. \nMalanka was over by the time when Russian people came to the area that was shortly before the war, around 1939. By that time the tradition died out. \nJohn recalled several lines from the devil's repertoire of a play that was performed in a local Ukrainian Community Hall in the early 1930s.
