By lan Noble and °
Jolanda Waskito:

OF ali the North Shore federal elec-
tion candidates, West Vancouver-

ing Social Credit party, Reynolds kept a relatively
low profile while working in Arizona.

‘The father of seven has now moved to Lions
Bay with his wife of 14 years, Yvonne.

In his private moments, Reynolds plays golf,
fishes and reads, He is currently reading the

Sunshine Coast Reform candidate
John Reynolds can carries the ne highest pro-
le.”

The two-term Tory MP, nine-year Social
Credit MLA, radio personality and VSE venture
capitalist has ‘had more than his share of ink over

Bible. “I’m about 10% of the way through, he |
said. “I’ve probably read about 300 pages.”

On the public stage, Reynolds was with the
Commonwealth Parliamentary Association when
he met Nelson Mandela soon after apartheid was
abolished in South Africa.

"He said the association talked in South Africa

-a period spanning more than two decades,
But in the five-years since he was tossed out of
B.C. politics by voters disenchanted with the reel-

about how the country could maintain
Commonwealth ties and the parliamentary sys-
tem. “They were very receptive,” said Reynolds.
