About the Author

Gerald A. Archambeau was born in British Colonial Jamaica in 1933. Sent to Canada in 1947, he became a Canadian citizen in 1956. This is the first book, describing his failures and triumphs as a young immigrant adapting to a new country. He has a deep appreciation for Canada, and the opportunities it offers those willing to move forward.

''The Human Rights Act came out after Gerry did the pioneering work. Where he originally cut a path it is a four-lane highway now.''

-Paul Lefebvre, president, airline central lodge 2323, IAM&AW
