My Biography My name is Gilles Andrew Irenee Joseph Naud, I was born in a small town in the northern part of Quebec, To be precise in Amos Abitibi, at Hotel Dieu hospital, on the Friday December 26 1947, around 2:00 A.M. I was a premature baby, I was not suppose to come into till world until some time in the month of February 1948. Gilles was my given name at birth .The name Andrew I had chosen when I was ordained a priest with the Old Catholic Church in 1983 in Toronto Ontario. The name Irenee was the name of my grandfather ( my mother’s father ) and he was also my god father. Then last but not least, the name Joseph, that name was given to all of the Roman Catholic Church boys when they were to be baptized. I am the second eldest of 5 children's, our family consisted of 3 boys and 2 girls. When I left the hospital, I went to our home where mom and dad lived, is was located, just next door to my dad garage in Amos where he worked. My first bad experience, his probably the best way to begin my story, itwould of been when I started kinder garden. For which I fail by the way, during that year I miss a couple of month due to children diseases, fortunately for me at that time I got them consecutively, the measles, the chicken pock and jaundice. Also I always seem to know how to find a way to get into trouble. Many night after school I had to stay in and waited for the teacher's husband to come home so I would receive the strap from him . The kinder garden school was the home of the teacher and she lived with her husband. Then when I did get home, I would received the strap from my dad again, simply because I got the strap at school and was not behaving to his standards, it seem like there were never an end to it. So I really began to started to dislike school at an early age. Only because I felt and believed that I was so much of a trouble kid ,I was wishing that things could of been different for me. I believed and felt that my kinder garden experience was the cause of my many difficulties and problems with schools. During my year of schooling I had fail every second years, until I reached grade 8. I was always the last one in my class, I always had very low grade usually in the 40's . The requirement needed in those days where 60% to pass for the year, and you could not fail any of those subjects not even one, or you would had to repeat your school year again. Now it would be a good time as any, to take a breather and start to look into your own inner voice ___________ YOU, and see if YOU can relate to my experience. Remember its only to help you to see where you’re at, and even maybe to see where some of your difficulty could of have started .
