"My Dear Boy" - continued
You might know Brad Bird as the Oceanside Star reporter who wrote
stories about walking through England with his wife, Karen Stewart. At
52, Brad is a long-time newspaperman and historian who has written My
Dear Boy, a history focusing on his family’s contributions to the
defense of Canada and war reporting. His late father, Clayton, flew
Halifax bombers in the Second World War while his uncle Mackenzie was a
soldier with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. Their
riveting stories are part of My Dear Boy. Brad himself has covered wars
in Kosovo, Western Sahara, Turkey and the Caucasus, and his memoirs make
up a section, more than 200 pages, of the 600-plus page book, which has
many photos. He will have copies for sale, $25.
