| Introduction | I was born in London, England in 1955. I arrived in Canada in 1956 after a trans-Atlantic voyage on the Cunard Lines. My father was in the RCAF, my mother with the Women's Air Force during the Second World War. My Dad met my mother while he was stationed in Europe. Both of parents are dead: my dear old Dad died in 1987, my Mom in 2004. I have worked for more than 25 years as a writer, most recently as editor of the Interlake Enterprise. I started a full-time job at the Interlake Spectator in 1993, a paper I'd contributed copy to since the mid-80s. We all have a place — whether we are patently wrong or simply deranged. I am impatient with the truth. It has to be spoken or, in my sad case, written. Allow that I am wrong but let me be wrong in my own way. That's all I have ever asked this sometimes looney but always wonderful world. |

You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?
Because it's my body and I'll cry if I want to.
