The Author is a product of the Great Depression and the Second World War. He met and married Esther Campbell in Scotland. They live in Ottawa, Ontario. As an adult student at Atkinson College, York University, Toronto, he earned his B.A. (English). When he retired he and Esther planned on living in Europe. This they did for twelve years after which they returned to Canada. A second twelve years passed before he decided to write a book about their experiences in Spain, France and Portugal. The book is called The Little Poppy, sub-titled, The Diary of a Retiree. The author has combined well developed powers of observation with practical analytical skills to produce a thoughtful diary style narrative which will keep you reading well past your bedtime. From the vague thoughts of retiral, we are taken to the point, when after twelve years of retirement, he has decided that the time has come to retire. On the way his descriptions of people they met are illuminated by appropriate anecdotes, his descriptions of places visited will whet the appetite of anyone considering a visit, lists of flowers photographed (555 specimens) will be of interest to amateur field naturalists and to the ever growing group of conservationists. All in all, a very useful, entertaining and at times light-hearted approach to retirement. It could be a guide for many a one of the oncoming Boomers.

Here is the inspiring story behind the Veterans Day red poppy, a symbol that honors the service and sacrifices of our veterans. When American soldiers entered World War I, Moina Belle Michael, a schoolteacher from Georgia, knew she had to act. Some of the soldiers were her students and friends. Almost single-handedly, Moina worked to establish the red poppy as the symbol to honor and remember soldiers. And she devoted the rest of her life to making sure the symbol would last forever. Thanks to her hard work, that symbol remains strong today. Author Barbara Elizabeth Walsh and artist Layne Johnson worked with experts, primary documents, and Moina's great-nieces to better understand Moina's determination to honor the war veterans. A portion of the book's proceeds will support the National Military Family Association's Operation Purple®, which benefits children of the US Military.
