Acknowledgments
I was fortunate in the first years of my professional career to work
at one of the top forensic laboratories in North America, the Centre of
Forensic Sciences (CFS) in Toronto. When I started there in the Toxicol-
ogy Section in , the court-going scientists who testified in alcohol-
related cases were very experienced, dedicated, and extremely helpful to
a new, inexperienced scientist like me. The technologists and other sta ff
were also of great assista nce.
I would like to acknowledge their contribution to my professional
education. These people include Ron Hallett, Rita Charlebois, A.E.D.
Hall, John Kofoed, Ismail Moftah, Bill Robinson, Bernie Yen, Wanch-
ing Sun, Frank McAuley, George Cimbura, John Wells, Andrew Bell,
Dale Randall, Teri Kang, and Gladys Uchimaru; and later Daryl Mayers,
Robert Langille, Robert Chechlacz, Mike Corbett, Marie Elliot, Laura
Gorczynski, Justi n Hinman, Chris House, Betty Chow, Teri Martin, J.-P.
Palmentier, Karen Woodall, Patricia Solbeck, Yvonna Buczek, Marc Pel-
letier, Dave Riley, and Mike Wilkie; Gus Cline, Norm Shaw, Bruce Mar-
kle, Gord Leslie, and Armand Giroux (of the Ontario Provincial Police);
Jeff Patrick (Toronto Police Service); Ed Nicholson (Peel Regional Police);
Pat Frost (Ottawa Police Service); and many others. I was also fortun-
ate that CFS had a large library with a staff of three—Eva Gulbinowicz,
Maryanne Brenton, and Catalina Che—who were able to find many of
the obscure and old alcohol-related papers for me.
My major mentor at CFS was Doug Lucas, who was the director of the
laboratory for the first years or so that I worked there. He was a wise
and perceptive director who encouraged and inspired me immensely.
