Greg Bruno

Hi! My name is Greg Bruno. I decided to return to school so I could get an education and a better paying job. I am now attending Marlborough Aboriginal Adult Learning Centre, AVC-Calgary. My goal is to take a pre-apprenticeship course in welding. It is a 16 week course that gives you your first year apprenticeship. After that I could get a job anyplace. If I had known school was so much fun when I was younger I would have stayed!!

For Allison, Jordan & Draven

by Greg Bruno

This is a poem to my common-law, my wife, my girlfriend, my best friend, Allison and to our children Jordan and Draven.

“I dearly” miss you. Allison you gave me two beautiful children

So tiny and innocent

I know Jordan and Draven you ask for me

I wish so much to be there

We will soon be together my loved one’s

Jordan and Draven on X-mas day. We will see what Santa brings us

We will only be together this time for just a little bit

But in our hearts we are always together, for we have the same heart

You know I can feel your feelings

When you are happy or when your sad

When we see each other don’t mind me if I don’t let go

For I haven’t seen or held you for such a long time

Soon we will be together

Then we will all grow old together forever

Because thats how much confidence I have in my life

So, until we see each other, you will always see me in your dreams or feel me in your heart for that is my prayer.

To my wife and beautiful children

Love forever, Greg
