    A civil engineering honours graduate from 皇冠体育鈥檚, Anthony (Tony) Partington obtained an MBA from York University and became a construction manager, supervising major projects in Calgary, Toronto, New York, and, lastly, Canary Wharf in London, England. Early in his career, Tony served in the Toronto Scottish Regiment. This, along with the 20 years he spent in London, piqued his interest in British and European history. After retirement, he became president of its regimental association and was often asked: 鈥淲hy is solid-colour hodden grey classed as a tartan?鈥 and 鈥淲hy is brown called grey?鈥 He realized that the modern, multicultural regiment should learn about the cloth鈥檚 ancient, multicultural origins. Nine years later, he authored , a 312-page book.
