Biographical history
David Garfield Jamieson, son of Archie and Edna (Peitzsche) Jamieson, was born on 29 December 1937. He lived in Montana and Nova Scotia before moving to Medicine Hat, Alberta in 1979. He works as a realtor in the city and served on the Board of Directors of the Medalta and Hycroft Pottery for 17 years. He has received various awards for his community involvements.
