ENThis book is being published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of its author, Bronius Povilaitis. The book began as an outgrowth of his participation as an interviewee for a Multicultural History Society of Ontario (Canada) project. His reminiscences were recorded in Lithuanian (log no. 1545). The recording process began on July 28, 1977. The author had long contemplated writing his memoirs as a testimonial about his life, about people he met along the way, about his colleagues and relatives, about events in which he participated.
