About the Author: In Memory of my Dad "My father was a miner, He worked deep underground; The rush of drams and clanking chains. They were his daily sounds. He worked so far below the ground. Where coal was hewed by pick, The work so hard and wages small He didn't dare go sick. He crawled upon his belly. In drifts so low and narrow, The wind it whistled down the shaft. It chilled him to the marrow. He ate his food from a Tommy box, Shaped like a slice of bread, While squatting down upon the ground, Where spit and crumbs were shed. His water, it was in a Jack, to wet down clouds of dust, That gathered daily in his throat and lungs. Where it formed a deadly crust. We would listen for his footsteps, He then came into sight: This man, our Dad, as black as black, just like the darkest night; Right down his back white rivers ran amongst the dirt and grime, But you cannot wash away blue scars. That you get down the mine. Years now have passed. My father gone, But I am proud to say, My Father was a miner, until his dying day." by William Holden Llewelyn collection de livres comprend la serie: 1.

J'espere que vous allez faire ce que vous pouvez au cours de ces quelques jours pour remplir le dossier du Labrador avec vos souvenirs et reflexions. Cela aussi sera une contribution importante a l'histoire du Labrador. Mais surtout, j'espere que vous apprecierez votre temps ensemble. Llewelyn Pritchard a fait un travail remarquable en vous reunissant. Il est aussi fin que Holmes et aussi persistante que Poirot. Il pourrait meme etre un grand Canadien! Nous lui devons plus que nous pouvons dire. C'est son cas et je sais que ce sera reussi. Toutes les bonnes volontes. Bill Rompkey"
