We begin by thanking the folks at Dundurn Press and Jane Gibson and Barry Penhale in particular. Their imprint, Natural Heritage Books, is now part of a significant Canadian publishing presence.

This is Darryl’s first work of non-fiction, having completed two works of fiction in the last four years. For Bill, (or William, as he prefers his byline to read) it is his eleventh. Past efforts have included those on baseball, soccer, and bicycling, and two with Natural Heritage, one on both Darryl and Bill’s hometown, Bowmanville, Ontario, and the other on African-Canadian athletes.
