Rev. David A. Bruce, son of Donald A. and Madelyn V. Bruce, was born in May 1948 1 
     
     at Boston, Massachusetts. He received a Bachelor of Arts in 1971 from the University of 1 
     
     Massachusetts, and a Bachelor of Divinity in 1977 from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. 
     
    

    
     Upon completion of his ministry in the Parish of Port Hill in 1980, Rev. Bruce moved 
     
     to Western Canada to become chaplain at the University of Alberta in Edmonton until 1983. 
     
     For the next three years he served as a chaplain in the United States Navy, with some of this 
     
     time being spent in Florida, and in Okinawa, Japan. Since 1986, he has done supply work in 
     
     the Diocese of Maine. During the winter of 1990, he was interim rector of the Parish of the 
     
     Good Shepherd in Houlton, Maine. 
     
    

    
     Rev. David Bruce held various positions before he entered the ministry. At a number 
     
     of lodgings in Maine, he worked as cook, dishwasher and innkeeper. These along with truck 
     
    
   
   
    
     driving, he did from 1966—1972. He also tried his hand at sternman on a lobster boat during the 
     
     winter of 1971—72. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Since 1986, Rev. Bruce was for a time owner/operator of Bufflehead Inn at Tenant’s 
     
     Harbor in Maine. Recently he sold this business. More experience as a cook was gained by 
     
     working in this capacity on various schooners in Maine’s Windjammer Fleet. In the fall of 
     
     1991, he plans to attend the Culinary Arts School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 
     
    

    
     Regarding his ministry on Prince Edward Island, Rev. Bruce comments: 
     
    

    
     I regard my time at Port Hill as integral to my development. Nothing in life is 
     
    
   
   
    
     wasted but everything is part of the pattern or patches in the quilt which defines 
     
     who we are. Port Hill certainly had a major role in helping me define who I am 
     
    
   
   
    
     and where I should be going.
