Adam met his wife Olga and the two cared for the family farm having the first of three daughters there. Then the family moved to Fort St. James where he took up logging. Adam also learned to fly, which became a passion for him along with skydiving, having won 1st place at a competition for skydiving in the early 60's in Vernon.
