Making a Difference: The Lives of Jack and Joan Verney

About this ebook
Peter Verney
Apart from being the son of Jack and Joan Verney, the principal subjects of this book, Peter Verney has long had a fascination with the great twentieth-century events that shaped their lives: the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-war austerity years in Britain. Retired from the Canadian public service, he has had the leisure—and, it must be added, a wife who affords him sufficient peace and quiet--to indulge his fascination and to research family history.
