"Thank you for the signed copy of your newest book, delivered a few nights ago:)-appreciated! I have already read most of it. It is a delightful read and expresses many of the feelings and thoughts that I have when sliding my canoe into new or familiar waters across the country"

"I have enjoyed your Blue Sky book; you express and describe scenery along your canoe trips so well. You have wonderful skills in expressing yourself and nature with words and I cannot imagine you being without a writing topic of interest."

"The author expresses his love for the land of the Red Deer River, as the current skims “across the sunlit stones of yesterday.” Blue Sky, Red Canoe is a winding journey into the human and natural history of this part of Canada. This wonderfully descriptive and poetic book is accessible to all readers. It is conversational, knowledgeable, and well researched. I would recommend that Canadians acquire this memoir."

"Apart from personal stories well told, as I’m reading I can see, in my mind, your face and hear the changing sound of your voice as the telling goes along".
