Jules LegalJules Legal is a Canadian writer who has lived an exciting and multifaceted life. After graduating from the Manitoba Institute of Technology, his education and pursuit of knowledge persisted for four decades, largely in the fields of science and techology. His professional life began in 1955 at the Manitoba Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation, where he devoted thirty-five years inventing, designing, and developing a variety of medical instruments and equipment, many of which were dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. He then spent fifteen years working for the University of Pittsburgh's Rehab Engineering Department, designing devices for people with disabilities. Jules has also dabbled in politics, environmental activism, union activism, urban planning, architecture and woodworking. Leisure pursuits involved extensive travel and annual wilderness canoe trips where he and his buddies imagined themselves to be carefree, Coureurs des Bois, exploring the countless streams and lakes of Manitoba and Ontario. Born from a long line of storytellers, he was inspired to share the story of his own upbringing, as told in the pages of A Bowl of Cherries, his first publication. Jules currently resides with his partner Gladys in a timber truss home they built on the outskirts of Winnipeg, and together they share four amazing daughters and many precious grandchildren.
