First published: 2003
Description: This book is an autobiography of a man, born at the turn of the century who had a significant impact on the Canadian North as an RCMP officer on lone outposts, travelling by dogsled to native communities. Later he was transferred to Southern Alberta where he was instrumental in educating the public on traffic safety as well as many other important duties. Upon his retirement he was made Magistrate of the then small community of Fort MacMurray, Alberta where in time he was made a Provincial Court Judge. As a Judge he was an expert in family law where his decisions were made with great deliberation and compassion. This book has many photos taken by the author and others. This book may not be a great piece of classical literature but it is written with sincerity and truth and is well worth a read. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone interested in the RCMP, the North, the legal system and life.
