PETER PORTLOCK

Peter began his journey as a church musician as a choirboy growing up in Edmonton. He graduated from advanced piano study to the organ bench at age 12. Since then, he has served as choir director and organist for Protestant and Catholic congregations across Canada while serving in the RCAF, and subsequently in Edmonton and Lethbridge, Alta. Now retired, Peter enjoys filling in for Sunday services and the occasional wedding—read about one memorable occasion in his story My Wedding Epiphany on page 16. He and his wife of 40 years, Linda, have three sons and eight grandchildren.
