Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Peacock, William H., 1941- : Born in Quebec City in 1941, William H. Peacock was educated in Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa. He married the late Liane Macdonald and is the father of two sons, Matthew and Justin. He taught for thirty three years in Ottawa as a high school English teacher, from which he retired in 1997. Since his retirement he has remained active in the field of secondary education. His interest in philately dates from an early age when he was encouraged by two close relatives, an uncle, Dr. Arthur Tardif of Montreal and an aunt, Thérèse Tardif of Quebec City. Both were stamp collectors, and eventually Mr. Peacock would inherit parts of their collections. Mr.Peacock remains an active amateur collector in Ottawa.
