Ian Richard GillI was born in Winnipeg in 1957 to a working-class family. Struggling against congenital heart issues, I underwent a number of corrective surgeries in my early years, and a valve replacement at the age of 43, just in time for the turn of the 21st centry. I have lived in several Ontario cities, where I trained as a chef, spent three years living in Barbados, West Indies, and met and married Margaret Greenidge on the beach in 1981. We have two wonderful sons, Jason and Krystofer, and four grandchildren, Malachi, Julia, Ethan and Erin, who are the true treasures of our lives. Since 1990 we have made our home in Edmonton, Alberta. This book is the culmination of my life's dream to become a published author. Read More Read Less
