Publisher Description: This memoir of a Canadian consulting engineer follows a lifetime planning new ports and transportation systems at a time of explosive growth in BC's infrastructures during the glory days of Premier W. A. C. Bennett and the Hon. Phil Gaglardi. The book also contains anecdotes from the author's work on four continents and from his early working forays behind the Communist Iron Curtain. The book concludes with a review of the highs and lows of a fascinating career, which rarely contained a dull moment. |
