On Nov. 3, 2008, Ted Sparkes, President of the Atlantic Transport Training Academy in Apohaqui, spoke to the club about the history of his company. This is the twentieth year for his company, which he started in Sussex, and moved to Apohaqui a year or so later. He joked that his banker- Bob Black, lawyer- Andrew Palmer, MLA- Bruce Northrup, insurance agent- Bob Kimball, truck salesman- Kevin Simpson, were all Rotarians present at the meeting.
Ted announced that he had just sold his business to the company that bears the name he wanted to incorporate himself 20 years earlier- Atlantic Transport Training Academy. Ted will be staying on until September of 2009 when he will then fulfill a life long dream- to take forestry at UNB and become a forest ranger.
Ted was thanked by Rotarian Bob Black, who said it was interesting to hear a real success story on the part of a local entrepreneur. We wish Ted well in his new studies and career.
