Charles A BeaudoinCharles A. Beaudoin has a deep appreciation for history, having spent his adult life studying the subject and teaching it in high school. Charles has also worked in a paper mill, in a bush camp, in logging, and at negotiating union contracts as a unin member and management negotiator. The Reesor Siding Tragedy, Charles's first book, draws on these interests and experiences, and even has a familial connection-his brother was a police officer on the scene the night of the tragedy.

In addition to writing, Charles has been a Rotarian, president of the conservative party in the Simcoe County riding, president of a minor hockey association, and president of a principal's association. He married his wife Lorraine in 1969, and the two retired to Wasaga Beach, Ontario together in 2001. Read More Read Less
