Photos from Bob McNaughton

November 1977 - Chipman trip to England.

Many of you remember this trip to England. It was nearly 35 years ago. How many people can you identify on this photo?

Better yet, how many can remember why we went across the pond and what was the name of the hotel we stayed at?

Here is what Bob McNaughton been up to; Bob now lives in St. Thomas, ON:

"My wife, Gail, and I moved to St. Thomas in 1997 and have a doodle dog and 3 cats. I was raised on a farm near Ailsa Craig in Middlesex County that was purchased from the Canada Company in 1858.

My grandfather was Alex M. Stewart who founded Stewart Seeds in the 40s and his Uncle, John A. Stewart, sold it to Ciba-Geigy in the 70s. I love creative projects that involve on-farm video and photography. My roots are from the land! Served two years as President of the Canadian Agri-Marketing Association and turned around a declining membership.

I’m a cottager, naturalist, world traveler (every continent except Antarctica and Australia), fitness buff, marketing consultant, social media strategist, speaker, project manager, video producer, photographer and writer. Have a passion for engaging and inspiring others to tell their story to get results!

After several years in sales (Chipman 1975 to 1982) and marketing management (Ciba-Geigy, Sterling Drug) with large corporate clients and advertising agencies (Quarry, Young & Rubicam, MC Group), I founded Dog & Pony Productions Inc., a communications company, in 1999. I enjoy being ahead of the curve and was the first to introduce virtual tours, interactive CDs and animated graphics to the agricultural industry.

I’m a life-long learner - have a B.Sc. (Agriculture) from U. of Guelph and an MBA in Marketing from the Schulich School of Business at York University. Obtained certificates in advertising, several pharmaceutical therapeutic categories, financial investing (CSC), life insurance and am a Certified Social Media Strategist by SMM University."
