George Secko is a lifetime collector, organizer, and discusser. As an octogenarian, he thinks he has a lot to share about what “Life” throws at us. He studied Engineering Physics at the University of Toronto and this lead him to IBM in application and system design, programming, technical and marketing support, management, and the impact of these changes on organizations and their employees. When four children came along, George found out he loved coaching basketball, baseball, and hockey—another great opportunity to observe human behaviour. George retired early from IBM, choosing a second career as a high school teacher of physics and mathematics, while coaching as many teams as possible. His business and teaching background focused on short sentences that progressed logically and would fit on a foil or a page. As more children and grandchildren crowded his life, he became more interested in poetry. Haiku impressed him because of its brevity. It could get some points across or plant seeds for thought. It evokes an imaginative awareness of experience, inspires an emotional response, and chooses and arranges language for its meaning, sound, and rhythm.
