He taught high school in Morinville, and then did Doctoral work in Medieval English at the University of Ottawa. Among the first Faculty of the University of Lethbridge, Dr. Mardon was also a visiting professor at several other Canadian universities.[3] He died on 8 March 2016, in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.[citation needed]
